Zara Phillips is left 'burnt' after Olympic heartache Her husband, Mike Tindall, has played down suggestions that his wife will represent Great Britain in the Olympic eventing team at the London 2012 Games. The rugby star says Phillips has been left "burnt" by her former encounters with the contest and is not confident of qualifying. Tindall concedes, however, that she will be pulling out all the stops at the try-outs. "She is just going to go out there and do her best to impress the selectors," he says. After an impressive year eventing, Phillips had planned to win over Olympic officials at the Chatsworth Horse Trials this month but the event was cancelled due to the course being waterlogged. Will Connell, the British performance director, says a new event for qualifying will be announced in due course. This means the announcement of Great Britain's Olympic eventing team has been put back until next month. It is reported that there is only one place left on the five-strong team with William Fox-Pitt, Mary King, Piggy French and Nicola Wilson all already expected to qualify.
