Equestrian - Two riders disqualified for whip, spur overuse

Two riders were disqualified from the individual show jumping competition that kicked off in Rio on Sunday for rough riding. A jury ruled Jur Vrieling of the Netherlands went too hard on the whip, while Belgium's Nicola Philippaerts was disqualified for excessive use of spurs under International Equestrian Federation guidelines. While the riders are out of the individual competition, they can continue competing for their teams.
