PhelpsSports.com (www.PhelpsSports.com) has posted an exclusive interview by Pegasus Award winning reporter Jennifer Wood with eventing Olympic medalist Darren Chiacchia. It is one of the first interviews that Chiacchia has allowed since his devastating and life-threatening accident at the Red Hills Horse Trials on March 15.

Wood spoke with Chiacchia on Tuesday at Robert Dover's farm in Wellington, Florida.

This fascinating and revealing conversation, with one of the nation's most popular horsemen, is available now to subscribers at www.PhelpsSports.com.

Wood said of her conversation with Chiacchia, "Like anyone who has seen or talked to Darren in the past few days, I was amazed at how healthy he looks, how upbeat he is, and the startling progress he has made since the last official report."

"Darren said that with his riding, he is still in the beginning stages - getting his riding muscles back and working on the basics of flatwork," Wood continued. "In addition to light riding and tennis, Darren goes to the gym every day and does physical therapy."

"One of the best things to say about Darren is that he is hopeful," said Wood. "He says the number one thing in his life right now is recovery - a 100% recovery."
