For once, Bruce Springsteen could not find words as his daughter Jessica helped secure silver for the USA in the team show jumping on Saturday.
Gold was always out of the question against a phenomenal Swedish squad. But the next best grade of metal sent the Springsteen clan into meltdown. Springsteen’s parents Bruce and Patti Scialfa were so euphoric when she called them at their horse farm in Colts Neck, New Jersey, that she couldn’t make out what they were saying.
‘I FaceTimed them really quickly,’ Springsteen said, minutes after the medal ceremony. ‘They were all screaming and I don’t think we understood a word anyone was saying. I just saw them in their Team USA gear. I couldn’t make any of it out but I know they were all excited.’
