Since the Paris Olympics are only three years from now, McEwen added by saying, “The way the horses are going, they would be quite happy going again in three years’ time. They are fit, well and healthy, and they absolutely love what they do, and now that Team GB has got the gold in team eventing I think people are really going to be striving to do it again.”
Previous feats for Team Great Britain
The team from Great Britain broke a 49-year-old record by claiming the Olympic gold in Tokyo. The team comprised McEwen, Laura Collett, and Oliver Townend. Now, the trio is aiming for the European Championship being held in Switzerland, later this week.
The competition will take place only between two countries: Britain (1970-1972) and Germany (2012-2014)–having earlier defended all three titles at the same time. Notably, the three equestrians will not compete with the same horses.
This time, the team will comprise 6 strong contenders which include ruling world individual champion Ros Canter, London 2012 team silver medalist Nicola Wilson, 2016 Olympian Kitty King and 2019 Badminton winner Piggy March.
Even though McEwen has had a successful start, enjoying the fame associated with his triumph last month, he’s all set to take on the major title and rise to glory once again.
