Olympic Grandstand

featuring the team show jumping and boxing
Introduced by Desmond Lynam
Team Show Jumping Final from Santa Anita Park. Britain's young team of riders try to improve on a disappointing record in recent Games.
Not since 1952 when the popular Fox-hunter and Lt-Col Harry Llewellyn were in the winning team, have our riders won the gold medal. Indeed there has been no team medal of any kind since 1956.
Teams of four riders have two rounds each, with the best three scored from each round added together. In the event of a tie on faults, there is a jump-off.
