Rio Olympic will observe a new record s the
Australian show jumper Scot Keach is all set to restart his performance after
long 28 years in the Olympics. After six Olympics, Keach will return to games
after he was being reported of his selection on Thursday for the ‘equestrian
team in Rio.’
Reports are that Keach was named in the Australian
Olympic Games, scheduled to happen from August 5 to 21, with a record of
appearing in professional tournament for the longest time. The 51-year-old
athlete is now a resident of Florida. Also, Keach is expected to improve his
performances, who, last played in the Seoul Olympics and came up with fifth
place in the team 23rd in the individual event.
In an Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) press
release, Keach said: “I remember the whole Olympic experience and I enjoyed it
very much. I remember going to the opening ceremony
and closing ceremony and things like that. We had good horses and riders on our
team but in the end things didn't quite go our way.”
Keach has started his Olympic debut at 1988. A proud
owner of his horse Fedor, said that he started planning two years ago. “Things
started falling into place two years ago and that is when the Rio Olympics
became a real focus,” he added.
