Hours after a Washington judge announced that Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates are officially divorced, the duo has something to cheer about thanks to their future son-in-law Nayel Nasser. The equestrian rider from Egypt put up a stellar performance at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics and secured a place in the final. With a clear run of 17 obstacles in time, Mr Nassar is now one step closer to victory at the tournament. Mr Nassar is engaged to Jennifer Gates, the daughter of Mr Gates and Ms Melinda. Therefore, it came as no surprise that both conveyed their support for Mr Nassar on social media. Sharing a photo of Mr Nassar, Ms Melinda said that this time around the Olympics was particularly special due to the rider's presence. In a note, she said, “I always love watching the Olympics. The Tokyo Olympics are particularly special because I get to cheer on my future son-in-law, Nayel Nassar. We are so proud of you, Nayel (and Igor),” referring to Mr Nassar's horse, Igor van de Wittemoere.
