Aug. 9, 2019, Lima, PER – Nicole Walker, 26, of Au- rora, ON closed out her debut major games with a hard-fought fourth follow- ing a jump-off for bronze in the individual final for show jumping at the Lima 2019 Pan American Games in Peru on Aug. 9. Show


jumping


wrapped up the equestrian portion of Lima 2019 with the two-round individual final that featured the tough- est tracks yet and culmi- nated with a nail-biter for the bronze medal after a four-way tie forced a jump- off. Gold had already been secured by Brazil’s Marlon Modolo Zanotelli


and


Sirene de la Motte on a per- fect score of zero, with sil- ver going to José Maria Larocca of Argentina, who finished with a single time fault riding Finn Lente. After lowering just


one rail in the initial round, and returning to post a clear in round two aboard her 14- year-old Belgian Warm- blood gelding, Falco van Spieveld (Toulon x Lys De Darmen), Walker was tied on four faults with Ameri- cans, Beezie Madden and Eve Jobs, and Eugenio Garza Perez of Mexico. In- terestingly, the jump-off was

a battle of experience versus youth with the legendary two-time Olympic gold medalist, Madden, 55, fac- ing off against three rising stars in their 20s. Madden was the first


to return over a shortened version of the round two course - featuring 11 efforts with plenty of chances to slice turns and gallop be- tween fences in the quest to


obtain the fastest jump-off time. A clear performance with Breitling LS in 42.47 seconds made her the one to beat.


Second out, Walker


laid down a strong perform- ance, stopping the clock in 44.18 seconds with a light rub at the ‘a’ portion of a double combination adding four faults for fourth. She hung on to her impressive


position after American, Eve Jobs had two rails aboard Venue d’Fees des Hazalles, and Mexico’s Eu- genio Garza Perez risked a difficult angle to save time to jump two, resulting in a refusal and subsequent re- tirement aboard Armani Sl Z.
