O'Connor Misses Out On Medal Playoff By Half A Second

Ireland's involvement in the Olympic individual showjumping event is at an end.

Ireland’s Cian O’Connor misses out on a place in the medal jump-off of the Olympic show jumping final by just 0.45 seconds.

O’Connor and his horse Kilkenny were the best of the Irish trio in this morning’s final at the Tokyo Equestrian Park with no fences down in a time of 88.45 seconds.

However, 88-seconds was the time limit, which saw him incur a single time fault.
The 2012 London bronze medallist finishes the event as best of the Irish in 7th place.

The Irish riders will return for the team event on Friday.
