SERIOUSLY, who doesn’t love someone who has refused to give up on a dream.
That’s why we have teammates Sue Hearn and Mary Hanna collecting the Swoop Play of the Day.
In the wake of Matilda Lisa De Vanna and Opals star Penny Taylor’s win, these dressage team members earn their accolade for setting records just by entering the Olympic Equestrian Centre in Rio.
Hearn became Australia’s oldest female Olympic debutant at age 60 while Hanna, older by a year, became Australia’s oldest competing Olympian in Rio.
“It felt wonderful getting dressed this morning and to be wearing the Olympic rings,’’ Hearn said.
“It felt very special. It was such a thrill to put the uniform on this morning.”
