VERSAILLES, France (AP) — German rider Jessica von Bredow-Werndl successfully defended her individual dressage title at the Paris Olympics on Sunday, with compatriot Isabell Werth’s silver medal extending her equestrian record to 14 medals.

Riding Dalera, the horse which also helped her win individual dressage gold at the Tokyo Games three years ago, Bredow-Werndl scored 90.093 percent on the way to winning the fourth Olympic gold medal of her career.

She was the only rider to score 90 on the final day of dressage events at the Palace of Versailles.
