Ireland's Greg Broderick only just made the cut into Tuesday's second individual qualifier in Rio when collecting eight faults with Going Global in yesterday's opening jumping competition.

From a starting field of 75 horse-and-rider combinations there were 24 clear rounds, but it was a tough day at the office with multiple eliminations and several falls, while two riders were also disqualified.
