this happens somewhat frequently. For Beijing, equestrian was held in Hong Kong. Way way back, when Melbourne had the games, equestrian was in Sweden. - Reagen Sep 24, 11:27 6
- That Sweden thing is crazy to me; same complaint. The other two are least annoying same-day plane trips if so inclined. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 24, 11:31 5
  - with equestrian it's usually for quarantine rules. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:33 4
    - not a sport anyways -- nm - mud Sep 24, 11:49
    - or carnivorous kangaroos -- nm - crash davis 😺 Sep 24, 11:35 1
      - it's the drop bears that are the real concern -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:35
