| Hoketsu appeared to be nodding off while finishing out the end of his run. |
70-year-old Japanese equestrian Hiroshi Hoketsu is in stable condition at his home just outside Tokyo. This after suffering a mild head injury caused when Mr. Hoketsu fell on his face immediately following Olympic qualification. Oddly enough, the rider was neither rushed to a hospital nor tended to at all for that matter. Close family, friends, and others around the sport just figured him dead.
Now the question that remains is whether or not he'll be okay in time for the opening ceremony, or even alive.
Some have actually speculated that the samurai on horseback is only doing this to get more added attention to sport that no one gives a shit about in most developed countries. And what better way to make NBC exec's happy over the numbers, but a possible death on any one of their four channels of tape-delayed coverage.
Hiroshi is not projected to do well at this summer's games, and because of that supporters are quick to remind everybody including myself that "...the man's 70-years-old for fuck's sake!" But in Japanese it sounds so much nastier.
