Germans Win Gold In Show Jumping
The Olympic equestrian show jumping team competition came down to the last rider. Fortunately for Germany, that rider was the world's best -- 1992 gold medalist Ludger Beerbaum. Beerbaum's final ride helped Germany win the team event with just 1.75 time faults. He was aboard Ratina, who won the silver in Barcelona. The United States won the silver medal with 12 faults and Brazil took the bronze with 17.25.
