Scarborough's Team GB competitor to chase gold at Paris Olympics- here's how to watch
Scarborough's Charlotte 'Lottie' Fry has the chance to claim an Olympic gold medal in Paris as a member of Team GB.
Making her Olympic Games debut in Tokyo, Fry earned bronze in the team dressage with Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester, nearly 30 years after her late mother Laura Fry competed alongside Hester at Barcelona 1992.
After Laura passed away in 2012, a young Fry moved to the Netherlands on the encouragement of Hester, with whom she had weekly lessons as a teenager. She has been based there ever since and trains under Danish Olympic medallist Anne van Olst.
She has gone from strength to strength since then, establishing herself as one of the best dressage competitors in the world with double gold at the 2022 World Championships in Herning.
Fry took top spot in both the individual special and individual freestyle dressage on the brilliant Glamourdale, while also winning team silver. European individual dressage silver and team gold in 2023, the first team dressage gold for Great Britain since London 2012, further cemented her and Glamourdale's reputations heading into Paris 2024.
As well as going for gold in the individual competition, Fry will join fellow Team GB members in the Grand Prix Team event. Competing alongside her is Carl Hester riding Fame and Becky Moody riding Jagerbomb.
