Michael Jung (picture) created equestrian history yesterday, winning gold to become the first rider to hold the European, world and Olympic individual eventing titles. It was a red letter day for the German as he had earlier picked up eventing team gold on his horse Sam. In silver came Sweden’s Sara Algotsson-Ostholt and bronze went to Jung’s compatriot, Sandra Auffarth. Zara Phillips, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and a member of the GB team that had clinched silver earlier in the day in the team competition, put in a faultless round to briefly lead the standings. But she eventually slipped down the rankings to finish eighth.
