European Eventing Championships – TEAM GOLD

GB Team Performance Coach Chris Bartle in discussion with Tina Cook at Badminton

Update: What an exciting European Eventing Championships! Team GB were predicted a team bronze but came home with team Gold and an individual bronze for Nicola Wilson. The XC proved technical as expected and the time was tight. Team GB were exceptionally good in all 3 phases although Oliver Townend’s Cooley SRS showed a little green-ness with run outs at a couple of the really testing skinnies. Oliver’s feedback to the team was essential to help Ros Canter, Tina Cook and Nicola Wilson ride their xc clear rounds later on and helped steer them towards gold after the 3 girls all jumped clear rounds on Sunday. Congratulations Team GBR!
