German eventing star Michael Jung has won the gold medal for individual ride with his awesome horse Chipmunk FRH!
I was able to see his winning jumping round and it was awesome! The race for the medals was extremely close and exciting - but Jung managed to keep his cool.
This is a new Olympic record - he is the first rider in eventing who has won individual gold three times! The other two wins were with his wonderful Sam FBW, in 2012 and 2016.
Jung started with an incredible low fault points of 17,8 in dressage, followed this up with a flawless cross-country round (through the gorgeous park of Versailles, what a beautiful course this was!) and finished with one fault in the team jump and no faults in the indivual jumping round. There was only a difference of 0,6 points to the second place, which was won by Crhistopher Burton from Australia. Bronze went to Laura Collett from Great Britain.

A world-record low five-star score. A wire-to-wire win. A fourth Kentucky victory.
Do one and you’re a champion. Do two simultaneously and you’re on fire. Do all three and you’re Michael Jung.
The German eventing phenom’s 20.1 winning score Sunday with fischerChipmunk FRH at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event broke the world’s previous best score of 21.3, set by Laura Collett and London 52 at Pau (France) in 2020. It also put him 11.6 points ahead of Great Britain’s Yasmin Ingham on Banzai Du Loir—the largest margin of victory at Kentucky since 2008, according to data company EquiRatings.
This win marks Jung’s 11th five-star victory, and a first for “Chip,” who was a five-star first timer. Jung is now tied with Mark Todd on 11 victories, while William Fox-Pitt is the record holder with 14.
