Equestrian Mirza 22nd after cross-country round

Tokyo, Aug 1: Indian equestrian Fouaad Mirza picked up 11.20 penalty points and was placed 22nd after the cross-country round at the Olympics here on Sunday. A good round in the individual show jumping qualifier on Monday will ensure that Mirza, India’s only Olympic equestrian in over two decades, and his horse Seigneur Medicott remain in the top 25 and make the eventing individual jumping final. Mirza picked up 11.20 time penalties after a clear cross country round in the challenging Sea Forest Cross Country Course in the eventing competition, which took his total to 39.20. (PTI)
