Mark Todd Olympic Equestrain Rider


Mark Todd NZ Olympic Rider

Mark Todd has been to four Olympic games. Each leaving with either one medal, or two. Mark Todd has won 2 gold medals, 1 silver and 2 bronze, this year the “NZ Equestrian team” won bronze.
Mark, probably didn’t feel so nervous before hand considering he has been to four Olympics, you’d get used to the crowd cheering at you, especially if you Mark Todd! I loved watching him on TV this year, he was going superfast on the Cross Country course and went clear, the Cross Country is fun to watch, but it is dangerous too, I’d much rather do Showjumping. In the Show jumping Mark didn’t go clear, instead he hit one rail, which unfortunately, it fell down. All the jumps were HUGE, there was tricky turns and obstacles in the Cross Country, but in the Showjumping there were big, high, wide jumps, 1.60m!

  1. I loved seeing how happy his team were when they won Bronze. It is a such an achievement but sometimes athletes get upset if they 'only' come third. Their celebration demonstrated true olympic spirit!
