Retired Kiwi legend Todd still feeling the Olympic urge

The legendary Mark Todd may have swapped eventing for the race track but he's still got one very special reason to keep a close eye on next year's Tokyo Olympics.

The 63-year-old Kiwi, who won two individual golds and three bronzes over the course of seven Olympics, announced his retirement in July after helping New Zealand win the Nations Cup at the Camphire International Horse Trials in Ireland.

He'll be in Tokyo in spirit, however, when, if all goes to plan, one dear old friend of his is negotiating the fences.
