He participated in the 1984 Summer Olympics, where he took 7th individually, and the 1988 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal with the French team. [From the back cover] La decennie de Flambeau fera date dans les annales de l'histoire du saut d'obstacles francais. Periode charniere de renouvellement, elle structure resolument la place de premier plan dont l'equipe de France s'est "emparee" et que le talent de nos cavaliers maintient depuis, avec les fleurons de notre elevage: FLAMBEAU, GALOUBET, JAPPELOUP, QUITO DE BAUSSY. et les performers JIVA, IDEAL DE LA HAYE, LAEKEN, LA BELLETIERE, MORGAT, NORTON DE RHUYS. Nul mieux que Frederic Cottier, son talentueux cavalier, ne pouvait parler de FLAMBEAU, champion au palmares exceptionnel. Anne-Marie CRETE DE CHAMBINE, journaliste specialisee, s'est attachee a cerner la vie quotidienne du cheval et a le suivre au cours de sa carriere. Tous deux ont eu a coeur d'elargir sensiblement le sujet et de presenter une equipe de France prete a ecrire une suite glorieuse aux ANNEES FLAMBEAU.
