Veteran equestrian Anthony Hoy will compete in a record-extending eighth Olympics after being named on the Australian team on Friday, 37 years after his debut at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. The three-time gold medallist will stretch his own record of the most Olympic appearances by an Australian athlete, while at 62 he becomes the oldest male competitor ever from his country. “To represent Australia at international level over so many years has been the greatest privilege and honour of my life,” he said.
