Oz rider to make Games debut at 60

Sydney: Sixteen years after being an unused reserve at the Sydney Olympics, Australian rider Sue Hearn will finally make her Games debut at the age of 60 at the Rio Games. Hearn got her ticket to join the 410-strong Australia team heading for Brazil when Kelly Layne withdrew from the team over the weekend because her horse was suffering from an injury. Hearn will be the second oldest Australian to make their Olympic debut after sailor Harold Brooke, who was 61 when he got his first taste of the Games in Rome in 1960. — Reuters
