This is one of those pictures that really makes you wish we had a caption competition.
Hang on a minute … Why don’t we have a caption competition just for once? No prizes, I’m afraid, but if you feel inspired send in your ideas in the comments. The serious caption we sent out with the pic is below, but I’m sure you can do better…

- Posted by Nick BenwellI was trying to talk to some people today about modern pentathlon but they didn’t know what the 5 sports are…or anything else about the sport (to be honest, I didn’t know much either until a few weeks ago). But then when I mentioned this picture, everyone knew what the sport was. Amazing. At the women’s modern pentathlon tonight, there was suddenly a lot of photographers from around the world hanging out after the incredible shots from the men’s competition last night — they were looking for more pictures of horses on top of riders. I was chiding a few of them for their peculiar interest, which they openly admitted. Many left after an hour because the track wasn’t as slick and there were hardly any tumbles like last night.
