Equestrian at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Individual eventing
The individual eventing in equestrian at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was held at Greenwich Park from 28 to 31 July. Michael Jung of Germany won the gold medal. Sweden's Sara Algotsson Ostholt won silver and Sandra Auffarth, also of Germany, took bronze.
Competition format
The team and individual eventing competitions used the same scores. Eventing consisted of a dressage test, a cross-country test, and a jumping test. The jumping test had two rounds. After the first jumping round, the teams results were determined. Both jumping rounds counted towards the individual results. Only the top 25 horse and rider pairs after the first jumping round competed in the second jumping round. However, each nation was limited to a maximum of three pairs qualifying for the second jumping round. The format used in London, was the same as the one used in both Athens and Beijing.The cross-country course was 5,728 meters long, with 28 obstacles and 40 efforts. The allowed time was set at 10:03 for an average speed of 570m/min. The jumping course was 515m with an allowed time of 1:23.
