TOKYO — For all the accolades he has won over the years, an Olympic medal has always eluded Bruce Springsteen. Perhaps that’s because rocking out still isn’t an Olympic event.
But another Springsteen has now accomplished the feat, after Jessica Springsteen, Bruce’s daughter, and the rest of the U.S. equestrian show jumping team won the silver medal on Saturday night.
Laura Kraut went first for the United States and had a clear ride with no faults. Springsteen was next, and had four faults after her horse, Don Juan van de Donkhoeve, knocked down a rail.
