French rider Astier Nicolas withdraws from race to Olympics
by Gudrun D'herckers
He announced this himself on social media.
"An examination revealed a slight sprain for Babylon. After consultation with the vet, the French team and the owners, we are forced to withdraw from the race for the OS in Tokyo... It's a huge dissapointment but the health of the horses is a priority and we don't want to risk his career. I wish all the luck to my teammates and will support them".
