VERSAILLES, France — Michael Jung became the first rider to win the Olympic individual eventing title three times, clinching the fourth Olympic gold medal of his illustrious career. The 41-year-old German rider won individual eventing at the 2012 and 2016 Games and his other gold was in team eventing in 2012. Jung punched the air at the sun-baked Palace of Versailles and kissed his horse Chipmunk on the neck. He finished ahead of Australian Christopher Burton on Shadow Man with Britain's Laura Collett taking bronze on London 52. Collett earlier won gold for Britain in team eventing.
