The individual
Background
This was the fourth appearance of the event, which had first been held at the 1900 Summer Olympics and has been held at every Summer Olympics at which equestrian sports have been featured (that is, excluding 1896, 1904, and 1908). It is the oldest event on the current programme, the only one that was held in 1900.[2]
Three riders from the 1920 competition returned: gold medalist Tommaso Lequio di Assaba of Italy, fourteenth-place finisher Åge Lundström of Sweden, and twenty-fifth-place finisher Jacques Misonne of Belgium.
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland each made their debut in the event. Belgium and France both competed for the fourth time, the only nations to have competed at each appearance of the event to that point.
Competition format
The 1060 metre course consisted of 15 obstacles, which were up to 1.4 meters high. The water was a maximum of 4 meters in width. The pair with the fewest faults was the winner. The time limit for the course was 2:39 (400 metres per minute), with a penalty of 0.25 faults for every second or fraction thereof above the limit.[2][3]
The faults possible were: 3 points for a first refusal, 6 for a second, elimination for a third; 5 points for a horse falling; 10 points for the rider being unseated; 4 points for knocking an obstacle down with the horse's fore legs, 2 point for knocking it down with the hind legs; and 2 points for going off-course.
