The U.S. Olympic Show Jumping Team has withdrawn Beezie Madden and Cortes 'C' from competition at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Cortes 'C' sustained an injury during Round 1 of the team competition on Tuesday, and in the best interest of the horse's welfare, the decision has been made to withdraw Cortes 'C'.

Great Britain's Michael Whitaker has withdrawn Cassionato from the remainder of the competition at the Olympic Games after the 11-year-old Holsteriner stallion (Cassini I—Perle Holstein, Quidam de Revel) began showing colic symptoms yesterday evening.

Follow along with us as the top eight teams after the first team round jump again for the team medals and 18 individuals join them in the final qualifying round for the individual final on Aug. 19.
