Thurles showjumper ready for Olympic action

Tipperary's Greg Broderick is settling into the Olympic village in Rio ahead of the showjumping competition which gets underway on Sunday next.

The Thurles man is our only representative as Ireland failed to qualify for the team event.

Greg arrived in Brazil yesterday while his horse Going Global has been there since the weekend.

The first qualifying rounds get underway on Sunday next – the finals are set for Friday week.

Speaking to Fran Curry on Tipp Today from Rio Greg said Going Global won't be phased by the competition.
