Drama unfolded in the men's Olympic individual showjumping final on Tuesday as two riders were thrown from their horses in separate incidents as they made their way around the course at the Palace of Versailles.

Swedish rider and world No 1 Henrick von Eckermann was shockingly thrown from his horse and into a sign, during his round at the event, while Mexico's Andres Azcarraga was nearly thrown into a pool of water by his horse.
