A
close-knit American team that has spent a lot of time together both
in preparing for the Games and socializing (most recently at barbecues
in Germany hosted by Coach Balkenhol and teammate Lisa Wilcox and co-coach
Ernst Hoyos) celebrated their Silver Medal with their horses' owners
at a champagne party following the awards and press conference. "We
would have had a party no matter what," said Guenter Seidel. "Even if
it had been to drown our sorrows!" he joked. But US competitors Sue
Blinks, Debbie McDonald, Guenter Seidel, and Lisa Wilcox had plenty
to celebrate both as a team and individually. In the Grand Prix the
individual placings for the Americans were: McDonald, 2nd; Wilcox 4th;
Blinks, 7th; and Seidel 13th.
