Laura Collett Sets Olympic Record, Wins Gold

News summary

British rider Laura Collett made history at the Paris Olympics by setting a new Olympic record in the dressage phase of the eventing competition with just 17.5 penalty points, surpassing the previous record set by American David O'Connor in 2000. Collett, who has overcome significant personal challenges including a near-fatal fall in 2013, also led Team GB to win their first gold medal of the Games in team eventing, alongside teammates Ros Canter and Tom McEwen.

This victory adds to her previous achievements, including a team gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
