«Breaking News» Equestrian-Florence washes out events at World...

Sept 16 (Reuters) - Tropical storm Florence continued to wreck havoc with the FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Tryon, North Carolina on Sunday wiping all of the day's scheduled events.

Show jumping, the final discipline of the eventing competition, was moved to Monday while the dressage freestyle was cancelled on Saturday and will not be rescheduled.

The dressage freestyle, an Olympic event, becomes the second competition to be cancelled and no medals awarded after the endurance competition was cancelled on Wednesday due to dangerous heat and humidity.

"This was not an easy decision," said Tryon 2018 organising committee president Michael Stone said in a statement.

"But we have explored every option, including trying to reschedule the horse departures, and even looking at moving the competition into the indoor with a change of footing, but the logistics of making all this happen are just not possible.

"The weather has simply left us with no choice.

"Horse welfare has to be the top priority and flying the horses out on the same day as competition doesn't work, so sadly the decision to cancel the Freestyle had to be taken."

Florence, which crashed into the state as a hurricane on Friday, bringing record rainfall continues to drench the Tryon International Equestrian Center with the National Weather Service issuing a flash flood warning through Monday for the Tryon area.

Conditions, however, are expected to improve dramatically from Tuesday allowing the WEG, which concludes on Sunday with the individual show jumping, to complete the remaining events without further disruption. (Reporting by Steve Keating in Toronto. Editing by Greg Stutchbury)

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
