Irish Hold Their Own In Opening Salvo Of Show Jumping

Irish riders had two clear rounds in the opening class of the World Equestrian Games show jumping at Jerez, Spain, today (Wednesday).

The Prix Jerez was a Table C speed class, with fences lowered incurring time faults that are added to the total, instead of normal faults.

Both Peter Charles on Corrada and Kevin Babington on Carling King managed clears, and ended 11th and 12th respectively.

However, both Dermott Lennon on Liscalgot and Cian O'Connor on Waterford Crystal each had a fence on the floor, and ended in 26th and 34th place respectively, out of a field of 96 starters.

Individual points accumulated from today's class are carried forward to the next major class, the Nations Cup, and points won there will decide the Top 25 riders, and, ultimately, the Top 4, who will battle it out for individual medal position on Sunday.

Today's speed class was won by Switzerland's Markus Fuchs, on Tinka's Boy.
