Michael Ryan out to prove Olympic credentials at Badminton

The Bandon-based eventer placed an impressive ninth last year with Ballylynch Adventure and this year is aiming to again set out his stall in terms of proving his Olympic credentials.
“My minimum requirement? I would be hoping to do the same as last year. It is a big ask and anything better than that is a bonus, realistically,” said Ryan ahead of his dressage performance yesterday which saw him score 52.8 penalties, just 0.7 more than last year, putting him in 30th place provisionally.
