Cricket legend Agnew blown away by Charlotte and Valegro

Cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew has described Charlotte Dujardin’s Rio Freestyle test as one of the best sporting moments he’d ever seen.

The renowned cricketer and broadcaster was left stunned by the gold medal-winning routine, raving about Charlotte and Valegro’s Freestyle.

“She was under pressure and to cope with it was remarkable, she blew the rest away. It was absolutely brilliant and one of the highlights of my sporting life,” said Agnew on BBC Radio 5 live.

‘Aggers’, as he is known to many, has been reporting on all the equestrian events live from Rio for BBC Radio 5 live.
