Zara Phillips Goes For Gold
Following on from her victory in the World Equestrian Games Sunday, Zara Phillips the Queen's granddaughter is setting her sights on gold in the 2008 Olympics.
Phillips said that winning had been beyond her wildest dreams, she is the first British winner since 1986.
Quote:
"It's been a massive dream but you have to get everything right leading up to it, and have the horse power. It's still two years to go. Horses get injured, so it's a long way away.
Winning was an awesome experience - beyond my wildest dreams."
