On the heels of a thrilling second place finish in the $1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup with her three-year-old pacing colt Time To Roll, Lothlorien's Susan Grange now has her sights set on Olympic gold.
Grange's Carlotta Singular La Magnifica and rider Yann Candele have been nominated to the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) for review and naming to the 2012 Canadian Olympic Team for the sport of Jumping having successfully completed the team selection process of the High Performance Committee.
Nominated team entries will be submitted to the COC no later than July 4. The COC will officially name the Canadian Olympic Team for the sport of Dressage, Eventing and Jumping on July 5 during a news conference at Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Alberta. The 2012 Olympic Games Equestrian Competition takes place in Greenwich Park, London from July 28 to August 9.
Grange's jumper In Style and rider Ian Millar earned a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which was the first equestrian team medal for Canada since 1968.
