As well you might but I've a suspicion that more people in Britain love horses and have a good idea of what dressage is than give a toss about competitive climbing.

Great news. Congratulations Shauna. Olympics next?

In what discipline? 100m? It's a shame the write up about her on the BT Sport website is so full of stereotypical punter language. I think it's about time the non-climbing community are actually taught what climbing is. Rather than this perception that its extremely dangerous and and that you must be holding on by your 'fingernails' in order for it to be hard.

Probably about as misplaced as most peoples idea of what dressage entails

Dressage is easy to understand - a posh person puts on somewhat antiquated and uncomfortable looking clothing, sits on a horse and tries to make it dance. Other people assess the quality of the horses moves. This subjective judgement is then used to pick a winner.
