Other information OLYMPIC WITHDRAWAL She withdrew from the Czech team for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo in order to prevent an injury to her horse Diva. "I wanted to check her up after [the CSIO in] Rome [Italy] as her behaviour was atypical and she didn't feel like herself. After checking her up, my vet and I decided to give her time off to avoid a minor injury turning into something major. Her welfare will always be my number one priority."
