Para-Equestrian star reverses retirement decision, eyes fourth Paralympics

West Australian para-equestrian athlete Sharon Jarvis confirmed she has reversed her retirement decision and will begin training to compete at her fourth Paralympic Games.

Jarvis made history at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, becoming the first Australian para-equestrian rider to compete in three Games.

Ahead of Tokyo, the 43-year-old had decided to call time on her international career following the Games.

But now, she will return to the saddle to try make history again.

“I certainly did consider it but I can officially say that no, I'm not retiring,” Jarvis told SEN Spirit.

“We're going to go for number four in 2024 in Paris.”
