You might have thought that Boyd Martin made his Olympic debut as a member of Team USA at the 2012 London Olympic Games. But it turns out that he actually made his first Olympic appearance 12 years earlier … while climbing a flagpole during the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
As Boyd explains it, “I managed to make the nightly news after I climbed up a flagpole at the Rocks in Sydney at the closing of the Olympics. Proud moment. I am proud to say that I have matured slightly since then.” (That last point is up for debate.)
Go Eventing.
