Chilean rider Jaime Bittner will not be able to compete in equestrian eventing at the Paris Olympics after the death of his mare Eden from an infection, the country’s Olympic Committee (COCH) said on Saturday. Bittner, a captain in the Chilean army, booked his spot in this summer’s Games along with Eden after being crowned national champions in December. Under Olympic regulations, both rider and horse qualify for a competition, so no other Chilean pair will be allowed to fill Bittner and Eden’s place.
