Mankini pictures
Australia’s three-time Olympic equestrian medalist Shane Rose has been booted from competition for wearing an orange mankini at a closed event at Wallaby Hill near Sydney, Equestrian Australia said on Sunday.
The 50-year-old, a silver medalist in the team event at the 2008 Beijing and 2020 Tokyo Games, apologized on Facebook, saying he had not intended to offend anyone.
Rose hopes the incident will not affect his preparations for the Paris Olympics starting on July 26.
Riders were encouraged to wear fancy dress at last weekend’s event and Rose had three costumes for showjumping — an orange mankini inspired by the comedy film “Borat,” a Duffman Bear suit from “The Simpsons” and a gorilla Suit.
