Equestrian:Ireland's Billy Twomey, riding Tinka's Serenade, is now lying in eighth place in the individual show jumping championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games following last night's third round in the Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington.
The top 30 combinations go through to tomorrow’s next leg with the final taking place on Saturday night when the leading four riders will swap mounts and all jump a round on each other’s horse. Ireland’s Dermott Lennon won the 2002 world championship with Liscalgot in Jerez de la Frontera.
The team competition was completed last night when Germany took gold, France silver and Belgium bronze. Germany’s Carsten-Otto Nagel and Belgium’s Philippe Le Jeune lie third and second respectively in the individual standings behind Rodrigo Pessoa of Brazil with the top-placed French rider being Kevin Staut who is in 10th spot.
