QUICK FIRE

Favourite pentathlon discipline?

Show jumping, even if it’s the most unpredictable. I swam competitively before anything else but I grew up riding horses and still love that discipline.

Bikes or horses?

Right now, it might well be bikes. Let’s say bikes going downhill and horses uphill.

Best career moment?

It has to be winning my silver medal in the Beijing Olympics. It’s not so much the medal that I value but it represents all the hard work that went into it.
