LONDON - Steve Guerdat, riding Nino des Buissonnets, won the individual show jumping gold on Wednesday for Switzerland's first title in the event in 88 years. Ireland's Cian O'Connor and Dutch rider Gerco Schroder faced a jump off to determine the silver and bronze medals after finishing tied with one time fault apiece. Schroder took second place, posting a clear round with O'Connor finishing third after his mount, Blue Loyd 12, knocked a pole off the last fence. This was the first time individual jumping gold had been won by a Swiss rider since the 1924 Paris Olympics.
