Eventing Team Win Silver and Sensational Hoy Adds Individual Bronze

The Eventing Team of Andrew Hoy, Shane Rose and Kevin McNab have won a sensational silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, adding to Australia's great history in the event.

And Andrew Hoy with Vassily De Lassos claimed Individual bronze, to show Hoy is as good as ever some 21 years after last winning Individual silver at Sydney 2000.

The Team and Individual medal from Tokyo now take the eight-time Olympian's medal tally to six (3G, 2S, 1B). Only Australian male Olympians Ian Thorpe (9) and Grant Hackett (7) have won more medals

Remarkably Hoy and Vassily De Lassos were the only combination out of over 60 entries to not add any penalties after the Dressage. Meaning after the Cross Country, and two clear Show Jumping performances (Team and Individual) they won bronze with 29.60 points, after starting the final day sitting seventh on the Individual rankings.
