Western Australian Beijing Olympic silver medallists Clayton and Lucinda Fredericks have been named in the Australian Olympic Committee’s (AOC) equestrian eventing team for London 2012.

The England-based husband and wife combination secured their Olympic nomination as part of Australia’s five member eventing team that will compete at the Greenwich Park course in London.

The Fredericks were part of the silver medal winning eventing team at the 2008 Beijing Games, and the pair will be making their second appearance at Olympic level for Australia.

For Clayton he is one of the few equestrian riders in the world who has experienced first-hand the Greenwich course after competing in the test event last year with the horse he was selected on, Bendigo.

"Having already ridden I’m focused on keeping good control of my horse and ensuring he can turn and manoeuvre quickly and that he has good fitness as there are some big hills to get up on this course,” he said.

Lucinda made a late bid for Olympic selection after finishing second recently in the 4 star Luhmuhlen event in Germany upon the aptly named, Flying Finish.

"It's amazing to have a second chance to go to the Olympics with Clayton and we hope to go one better and bring the gold home,” she said.

Clayton and Lucinda Fredericks’ selection has taken WA’s numbers for the London Games to 44 athletes.
