Special Olympic Programme on Eurosport featuring Eventing star Pippa Funnell 

Pippa Funnell, Britain's champion eventer is one of the eight athletes that Eurosport follows in the weekly programme "Mission to Athens" (M2A) as they prepare to achieve their goals of competing in the Athens Olympic Games.

Pippa Funnell has been involved with horses all her life and is a major name in Eventing since her teens after winning the individual European title in 1987. She is the first rider to win the Eventing's Grand Slam after winning the Kentucky, Badminton and Burghley Horse Trials last year.

Each week a journalist follows Pippa during practice, taking care of her horses and competing. Recently we watched Pippa winning at "Fontainebleau" event and last week-end followed her at Badminton Horse Trials.

Don't miss the "inside story" of training for the Olympics on Mission to Athens, Tuesday and Saturday on Eurosport.

A special M2A section was created on Eurosport website, where web surfers can find more information concerning the programme, such as athlete's diary and message boards where visitors can leave encouragements and questions to the athletes.
