Determined Lynch looking to future

Show jumper Denis Lynch yesterday said he had “learned an incredible amount” about himself and others as a result of the loss of his Olympic place and subsequent dismissal of his appeal by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

In a statement yesterday, the German-based Tipperary native said he was now turning his attention to matters inside the arena.

“I am more determined than ever to achieve results now. I have learned an incredible amount about myself and others over these last few weeks. My immediate goals are to once again return to the top 10 in the world and consolidate or improve on my position as number two on the Global Champions Tour,” said Lynch, who thanked his supporters, saying: “I fully intend to justify that support over the coming months and years.”
