Thomas Müller's horse wins gold at Paris Olympics
The Bayern Munich and ex-Germany legend has a long association with horses and is now celebrating a horse he co-owns winning a gold medal for its rider, Christian Kukuk, at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Thomas Müller is a co-owner of Checker, a 14-year-old grey gelding whose leaps over the showjumping fences at Versailles on Tuesday earned Kukuk a gold medal for Germany.
"It's golden - we are Olympic winners!", the Bayern legend wrote on his Instagram account to greet the news. He published a video congratulating both Kukuk and Checker while also expressing his gratitude to new coach Vincent Kompany for holding training in the afternoon so Müller could watch his horse in action on TV in the morning.
