Zara Phillips: 'Germany were too good for us'

Zara Phillips says that it was an "honour" to ride alongside her Team GB compatriots following their silver medal win at the team eventing.

Great Britain rider Zara Phillips has admitted that winning silver at the equestrian team eventing has yet to sink in.

The team, made up of Phillips, Mary King, Nicola Roberts, Tina Cook and William Fox-Pitt, managed to grab the silver medal ahead of bronze medalists New Zealand, while Germany stormed to the top honour.

"I have not really had a chance to reflect on the team silver," BBC Sport quotes Phillips as saying. "We should have been able to do more but [Germany] were too good for us.

"It is disappointing but at the end of the day we have a team silver medal, and we did not go down. The team have been awesome this week, with some massive performances, and it has been a real honour to ride with everyone."

Meanwhile, Germany topped the medals at the individual eventing this afternoon through Michael Jung, while Britain's Phillips, King and Cook failed to place in the medals.
