A medal at the Pan American Games was important this weekend for the United States, not only for Olympic qualification, but for team morale after a tough finish at the 2014 Alltech World Equestrian Games (France).
With Brazil hot on their heels after three clear show jumping rounds today, the team delivered, taking home the gold on a score of 133.0. Brazil earned silver on 140.7, while Canada took home bronze on 163.0.
The U.S. Eventing Team came to the Pan American Games with one goal—to win. While they don’t need to win to gain Olympic qualification (third place behind Canada and Brazil who are already qualified will suffice), that hasn’t changed their mindsets.
