The GB endurance team started their day off early with a Union Jack pedicure. (Are they wearing flip-flops for the opening ceremonies? Well, who cares. Patriotism.)

Team Ireland is showing some serious national pride!

USA reining team looking sharp! (Seriously, is Mandy not the most adorable person ever?)
