Michael Jung and Sam won the individual gold at the London 2012 Olympics after jumping two double-clear show jumping rounds today at Greenwich Park. Their double-clear in the individual round put all the pressure on leaders Sara Algotsson-Ostholt and Wega of Sweden, who pulled a rail at the very last fence on course with a shriek of horror from Sara. Michael and Sam add two Olympic gold medals to their trophy case, which includes the 2012 World Equestrian Games gold and the European Championship gold last year. Oh, and by the way, it’s Michael’s 30th birthday today. Germany wins team and individual gold. We’ll have a full recap shortly. Go Michael and Sam.
