Trevor Smith competed in the individual and team eventing at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, finishing 18th individually and 5th as part of the Irish team – Ireland’s best Olympic eventing team result of the modern era at that point.

The three-day event at Sydney was held at the Horsley Park venue and featured a cross-country course that proved significantly more demanding than anticipated. Smith’s performance was a key part of an Irish eventing team that included Austin O’Connor.
