Britain has suffered a major setback before the Paris Olympics 2024. The star athlete who created history by becoming the country's highest medal winner has withdrawn from the Paris Olympics. This star player had made a mistake 4 years ago, for which he had to suffer the consequences in this form. Although the star athlete has also apologized, he will have to stay out of the Paris Olympics.
Who is this star player?
This star athlete from England is Charlotte Dujardin, who is considered the world's number-1 equestrian. Charlotte Dujardin is a horse rider who was unknown in the world of sports and became an Olympic champion in just one year. She has become a champion in 3 Olympics so far. Charlotte first won 2 gold medals in the London Olympics.
Charlotte then won a gold and a silver medal at the Rio Olympics. Last time, at the Tokyo Olympics, Charlotte equalled Laura Kenny's record for most Olympic medals for Britain by winning 2 bronze medals.
Why was Charlotte kicked out of the Olympics?
Charlotte Dujardin is accused of abusing a horse. The incident is said to have taken place at her private stable, where she lashed a horse 24 times. An anonymous complainant filed a complaint with the International Equestrian Sports Federation regarding the incident. The complainant has also sent a video as evidence in his complaint. The International Equestrian Sports Federation gave Charlotte time till Tuesday to respond. Charlotte decided to stay out of the Olympics before the deadline.
What was in the video?
This video of Charlotte Dujardin is said to be 4 years old. In this video, Charlotte is training a young rider. During this training, she alone whipped the horse about 24 times. Prosecutors allege that Charlotte was attacking the horses as if they were not horses but circus elephants.
What did Charlotte Dujardin say?
Charlotte said in her statement that it is a shame. The incident was completely out of character for her and does not reflect the way I train my horses or the way I train my students. However, rather than making excuses, I would like to say that I am deeply embarrassed and I should have set a better example at the time. I truly regret my actions and am disappointed that I have let the fans down. I will cooperate with the investigation and will not comment further until the investigation is complete.
This time Charlotte was going to make history
If Charlotte Dujardin had been a part of the Paris Olympics and won a medal, she would have become Britain's most decorated athlete. Laura Kenny has won the most medals for Britain so far. Laura Kenny has won a total of 6 Olympic medals for Britain, while Charlotte has won 1 medal and achieved the number-1 position with 7 Olympic medals. After the ban on Charlotte, her dream of making the record of winning the most medals for Britain will also be shattered.
