Olympic Equestrian 2016: Medal Winners, Scores and Times for Wednesday's Results

Published by Bleacher Report on Wed, 17 Aug 2016


France added to its medal haul in equestrian at the 2016 Summer Olympics Wednesday, as it took gold in the team jumping event with the United States finishing second.The French previously won gold in team eventing, and the team jumping gold represented its first since 1976.Team USA's silver was its third medal in the past four Olympics in team jumping, while Germany beat Canada in a jump-off to take bronze.Here is a full listing of results for all eight nations that reached Wednesday's final:France's four-person team was comprised of Philippe Rozier, Kevin Staut, Roger Yves Bost and Penelope Leprevost, all of whom became Olympic medalists for the first time.The United States Equestrian Federation tweeted out the following photo of how Team USA's riders looked in clinching silver:Kent Farrington, Lucy Davis, McLain Ward and Elizabeth Madden led the United States to the podium for the third time in these Olympics as they previously won medals in team dressage and individual eventing.Ward and Madden are now three-time Olympic medalists, having won gold in team jumping in both 2004 and 2008.Germany needed to come through in the clutch in order to steal a bronze, but as pointed out by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports, doing so was the continuation of a great Olympics for the country in equestrian:With individual jumping medals still left to be decided, French, American and German riders will have an opportunity to leave Rio de Janeiro with even more hardware in their possession.Regardless of how that event plays out, though, all three countries confirmed Wednesday that they are among the elite nations in equestrian.
