Filipino wins show jumping gold

Busan Oct. 15. Mikaela Maria Jaworski of the Philippines, riding Rustic Rouge, won a two-horse jump-off with a clear round to take the gold medal in show jumping at the Asian Games on Monday.

Jaworski and Lee Jin-Kyung, riding Uncle Harry, both finished the second round with two time faults for taking too long to complete the course. They then competed in a jump-off over a shortened course, with time used to break any equality of faults.

Lee, the first rider in the jump-off, hit the last jump — a wall — for four faults. Jaworski, after knocking an early rail that didn't fall, finished with a clear round to take gold, relegating Lee to silver.

Tadayoshi Hayashi of Japan, riding Caracas, took the bronze after finishing with four faults in the second round.

Hayashi was a member of the Japanese team that won the team show jumping gold on Saturday.
