With more athletes setting foot in Paris, the early buzz from the Olympic village is all about the uniforms, cardboard beds and local cuisine. Meanwhile, far from Paris, the world’s top surfers are arriving at the Tahiti venue. NBC’s Keir Simmons reports for TODAY.
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Charlotte Dujardin of Britain has withdrawn from the Paris Games after a video emerged that she says shows her behaving inappropriately while coaching other riders. Dujardin said in a statement that the video from four years ago “shows me making an error of judgment during a coaching session.” It wasn’t clear what video Dujardin referred to or what specifically the video shows.
“What happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how I train my horses or coach my pupils; however, there is no excuse,” Dujardin said in a statement on Instagram. “I am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment. “I am sincerely sorry for my actions and devastated that I have let everyone down, including Team GB, fans and sponsors.
