Chinese eventer wins medal at Asian Games
British-based Chinese eventer Alex Hua Tian has won an individual silver medal at the Asian Games today (26 September).
The Games, which are taking place in Incheon, Korea, are held every four years in the even years between the Olympics. Equestrian was first held at the Games in 1982 and eventing is held over a one-star course.
Alex was riding Edwina Qu Ye’s eight-year-old gelding Temujin.
“

Gold was taken by host nation rider, Sang Wuk Song, was riding FRH Fantasia.

Team gold went to the Korea, with Japan in silver and Hong Kong in bronze.
