Jessica Springsteen, Team USA Win Olympic Silver Medal in Equestrian Jumping

Jessica Springsteen has found a way to one-up her parents.

The 29-year-old, who is the daughter of musicians Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, was part of the United States equestrian team that won a silver medal at the Olympics on Saturday.

"I had really high hopes coming in today," Springsteen told reporters after the final. "It really gave me a lot of confidence and the ability to have big dreams of riding with them, so I'm just so excited."

Steve Van Zandt, who has played in the E Street Band with Bruce Springsteen since 1975 and Scialfa since 1984, tweeted about Jessica's accomplishment:
