Michael Jung has made history by winning his fourth Olympic gold medal in individual eventing at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first rider to achieve this feat. The 41-year-old German rider, aboard his horse Chipmunk, finished with a score of 21.80, ahead of Australia's Christopher Burton (22.40) and Britain's Laura Collett (23.10). Jung previously won individual eventing titles in London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as a team gold in 2012, bringing his total Olympic medal count to five. The event comprised three sections: dressage, cross-country, and showjumping, with Jung delivering flawless performances throughout. This victory marks the first Olympic medal Jung has won with Chipmunk, a horse he acquired in 2019. Meanwhile, Britain secured its first gold medal of the Games by defending its team eventing title earlier in the day.
