America’s Shawn Flarida galloped to gold in the reining individual final tonight where U.S. riders filled every step of the podium.

Partnering the 7-year-old Spooks Gotta Whiz, 45-year-old Flarida produced a super score of 233.5 to put the result beyond doubt when last to go. And his team gold medal winning compatriots from earlier in the week, Andrea Fappani and Mandy McCutcheon, clinched silver and bronze.
