GOLD was captured for Ireland by the winning pentathlete duo of well known equestrians Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe and Natalya Coyle in the curtain-closing mixed relay in the 2016 UIPM World Cup in Florida, USA.

It was an especially satisfying triumph for the winning Irish duo as they were just pipped to gold in the 2015 World Cup Final by Belarus, whose team of Katsiaryna Arol and Mikalai Hayanouski settled for silver this time.
