Edmond Gibney height - How tall is Edmond Gibney?

Gibney had a poor showing at the Olympics ending with 152.6 penalty points, which put him in 62nd place, however the team ended in 8th place. A fall in the cross country section, (which was the front page of The Irish Independent Newspaper at the time), scuppered Gibney's chance of a high placing.

On 9 April 2012, Lion Na Bearnai, an Irish bred racehorse trained by Edmond Gibney's brother, Thomas Gibney at Bensfort near Kells, won the Irish Grand National. The horse which is owned by the Lock Syndicate, and was ridden by Andrew Thornton won the Irish National by four and a half lengths at a starting price of 33-1.

On 3 March 2007, Gibney, at 32 years old, was involved in a significant car crash in the South of England which resulted in him being in a coma for over a month in Southampton General Hospital. Once Gibney regained consciousness he made a rapid recovery and was riding again that summer. At the time, he was competing on a number of horses up to intermediate level, finishing fifth in an intermediate section at Wilton on Lovejoy's Quest and winning a novice class at Borde Hill (2) on Skywalker II. Whilst, the crash gained a lot of media interest Gibney took the decision to retire from competing at an international level.
