Equestrian, Eventing:
Eventing is often described as an equestrian triathlon. It is a discipline where each competition is composed of a Jumping, Dressage and Cross Country test to determine the final score. Horse and athlete combinations take part in Olympic Eventing, with both team and individual competitions running concurrently. All horse and athlete combinations compete in the three rounds Dressage (completed), Cross Country (now underway) and Jumping). These rounds determine the team medals but also define the start list for the individual final, with the 25 best combinations then taking part in a second Jumping test to crown the individual medallists.
DID YOU KNOW: There are three Equestrian disciplines, with men and women competing on equal terms in Dressage, Eventing and Jumping in both team and individual competitions. German riders topped the medal table at Rio 2016 with six: two gold, two silver and two bronze.
