Cian O'Connor has claimed the individual bronze medal at the Longines FEI European Championships in Gothenburg.
The third place finish for the Meath man rounded off a remarkable weekend for Irish Show Jumping which saw them win the team gold medal on Friday, 25 August.
O'Connor and his stallion Good Luck completed five rounds of jumping over the past five days at the Ullevi Arena with a total of just 6.25 penalties to win bronze.
Adding to the team gold medal from two days ago and his Olympic bronze from London 2012.
O'Connor becomes just the third Irish rider to win a European individual medal, joining Peter Charles and Eddie Macken.
