Pippa Funnell (häftad, eng)

The autobiography of the most successful Three Day Event rider of all time - updated for the paperback edition.

Pippa Funnell is the golden girl of the British equestrian scene - but it hasn''t always been so. She seemed doomed to be a ''misser'' in the really big competitions, lacking that special ingredient that makes a true championEverything began to change for her in 1999 when her results, including her first European title, were excellent, but it was at the Sydney Olympics that she really came of age, winning a silver medal.

Since Sydney, Pippa went from strength to strength. She completed the double of European Championships in 2001, she won Badminton in 2002, and in 2003 won the Rolex Grand Slam and was awarded Sportswoman of the Year by the Sunday Times.

In 2004 Pippa was a double Olympic medallist in Athens, and this autobiography includes her Olympic diary, as she records the ups and downs of the competition, the triumph of the dressage, her cross-country round and the showjump down that cost her a gold medalAs if all this were not enough, there was the controversy of the medals being reallocated on appeal, meaning Pippa won both a silver and a bronze.
