Games-Canada win Pan Am team equestrian, earn Rio berth

TORONTO, July 23 (Reuters) - Canada and Argentina won gold
and silver, respectively, in team equestrian at the Pan American
Games on Thursday, giving each country an automatic berth in the
2016 Rio Olympics.
Canada were tied for third with Brazil following the opening
round of competition with six faults while Argentina sat second
with two faults.
But the Canadian team of Yann Candele, Tiffany Foster, Eric
Lamaze and Ian Millar then piled on the pressure, counting only
one time fault in the second round of competition to move up and
take the gold medal.
The event is among a handful of disciplines in 10 sports at
the July 10-26 Pan Am Games that offer countries a chance to
secure a spot in the Rio Olympics, which are scheduled for Aug.
5-21 next year.
