The same scores were used for both the individual and team competitions. While individual medals were awarded, none of the teams managed to have three riders finish the course so team medals were not awarded.[3][4] The 18-obstacle, 20-effort course was 1,060 meters in length, and included two fences at 1.60 meters, a very difficult wall, and a water that was 5 meters in width. 100,000 spectators were present at the show jumping competition.[5]
