Jung wins again on Sam FBW in Olympic equestrian

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Michael Jung and Sam FBW are Olympic champions again.

The German pair won the eventing gold medal Tuesday at the Rio de Janeiro Games, their second straight Olympic title in the discipline.

At the 2012 London Games, Jung became the first rider to finish an Olympic eventing competition on his dressage score. They repeated that feat in Rio with another perfect round in the final showjumping phase.

Jung is only the third eventer to win back-to-back Olympic titles.

Astier Nicolas and Piaf de B'Neville took silver after knocking over a fence and picking up two time penalties on Tuesday.
