German athlete Annika Schleu struggled to control the horse before her show jumping round. Her coach, Kim Raisner, was filmed striking it.
In a statement, it said:"The UIPM Executive Board has given a black card to the Germany team coach Kim Raisner, disqualifying her from the remainder of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games."The EB reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy, ridden by Annika Schleu, with her fist during the riding discipline of the women's modern pentathlon competition.
"Her actions were deemed to be in violation of the UIPM competition rules, which are applied to all recognised modern pentathlon competitions including the Olympic Games. "The EB decision was made today at the Tokyo Stadium before the resumption of the men's modern pentathlon competition."It was unclear if she was supposed to have had any role in the men's competition in modern pentathlon on Saturday.
