Jessica Springsteen and the U.S. equestrian team have qualified for Saturday’s team jumping final. Springsteen is the daughter of famed rocker Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band wife, Patti Scialfa.
United States' Jessica Springsteen, riding Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, competes during the equestrian jumping team qualifying at Equestrian Park in Tokyo at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Friday, Aug. 6, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.
Springsteen is the daughter of famed rocker Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band wife, Patti Scialfa. The 29-year-old — ranked 14th in the world — failed to make the individual jumping finals in her Olympic debut this week but came back with a strong ride Friday. Her horse, Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, clipped a rail on the 13th of 14 obstacles, the only flaw on an otherwise impressive jaunt.
About a half dozen members of the Bruce Springsteen Japan Facebook group gathered outside the locked equestrian stadium last week to offer support. Back home, nearly all the mainstreem coverage for equestrian has focused on her, and she’s drawn by far the most attention from reporters in interview areas this week.“For me, one thing about riding I’ve always loved, well first my love for the horse, but when I’m in the ring and the bell goes off, I’m completely, 100% focused on that,” she said.
