Mary King went clear Imperial Cavalier as Team GB claimed silver
GREAT Britain secured a team silver medal in the eventing competition at Greenwich Park this afternoon.
Their brave gold medal challenge ultimately came up short as European champions and Olympic title favourites Germany took gold, with New Zealand clinching bronze.
Tina Cook's showjumping round - she had just one time fault - meant Britain secured second place and gave Britain its 18th Olympic post-war eventing medal alongside her team-mates of Zara Phillips, Nicola Wilson, William Fox-Pitt and Mary King.
