Canada's Hickstead with Eric Lamaze in the irons takes the first-ever equestrian Gold Medal home for Canada. Rolf-Goran Bengtsson and Ninja win the Silver for Sweden with USA's Beezie Madden and Authentic earning the Bronze Medal.

August 21st, 2008, Kong Kong, China---  Canada’s Eric Lamaze rode Hickstead to another clear round in the jump-off for Gold and Rolf-Goran Bengtsson and Ninja had one down in the Gold medal jump-off to take home Silver for Sweden. They were the only two combinations to jump clear. Lamaze and Hickstead jumped four out of five clear rounds and won the first individual show jumping gold medal for Canada.

Madden and Authentic's time of 35.25 was the fastest of the three clears in the Bronze medal jump-off. Madden took a big risk jumping over some brush that was part of the course to save time and it paid off. MacLain Ward was the first US rider to try this and it worked well for him.
