Who is Cian O'Connor?
Cián O'Connor is an Irish equestrian whose discipline is show jumping. He currently ranks fiftieth for the FEI Rolex Ranking List. He won a bronze medal at the London Olympic games 2012. He was also a member of the Irish Nations Cup team, which won the Aga Khan Trophy at the Dublin Horse show 2012. He was a late nomination to the Irish Team for the London Olympics and got a late call to jump the final two rounds in the individual competition, after one horse failed a routine veterinary inspection on the morning of the competition.
He is a regular member of the Irish Nations Cup team, with ninety appearances to date. He won the gold medal in individual jumping at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, but he later lost his medal after the sports ruling body found that his horse had banned substances in its system during the games. However the FEI said it was satisfied that Cian O'Connor was not involved in a deliberate attempt to influence the performance of the horse.
