Gold Coast: So, Zara Tindall is thinking about making a comeback to the Olympics after two decades! Can you believe it? She’s been away for so long, but she’s not ruling out a return for the Brisbane Games in 2032.
Remember, she snagged a silver medal in the team equestrian event back in London 2012. But before that, she had to pull out of the 2008 Beijing Games because her horse got injured. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for her.
While at the Magic Millions horse racing event in Australia, the 43-year-old said she’d love to compete again. But she’s also grateful for having ridden at her home Olympics. If she goes for it, she’ll be 51 when the Games roll around!
Her husband, Mike Tindall, is totally on board with her dreams. He’s been by her side during this trip. They’ve been married since 2011 and have three kids together. Mike, a former England rugby captain, is all about supporting their kids in sports but has no plans to hop on a horse himself.
He joked about how it would be like asking Zara to play rugby. They’re just like any other parents, spending weekends shuttling their kids to various sports activities. Mike believes sports teach kids valuable lessons, and he wants to expose them to as many as possible.
