CIAN O’Connor became the first Irish rider to win two medals at the same European Champions when claiming individual bronze on Sunday afternoon at the stunning Ullevi Stadium in the Swedish city of Gothenburg.

The Swedish crowd got their fairytale ending when the favourite, and leader from the very first day of competition, Peder Fredricson, kept his cool to claim the gold medal with H&M All In, his silver medal mount from last summer’s Rio Olympic Games.
