Babington turns thoughts to Friday

Carrick-on-Suir native Kevin Babington admitted that the pressure got to him in last night's show jumping team final, but, having qualified joint-fifth for the individual decider, his thoughts have zoned in on Friday's medal hunt.

"I felt more pressure today, definitely," said Babington, whose mount Carling King had two clears in the opening two qualification rounds but ,under the severe lights of the Markopoulo centre, incurred five penalties for a fence down and a finish of over 96 seconds.
