Georgia Bruce riding Carolyn Lieutenant's Victory Salute won the Bronze Medal in the Individual Championship Test Grade IV at the Paralympic Games held in Hong Kong.

Very little separated the combination from a Silver medal.

The usually calm Victory Salute put on a bit of a performance during and after the medal ceremony, forcing Georgia to dismount for the medal presentation. Gold medal winners Philippa Johnson on Benedict just managed to stay within reach of FEI 2nd Vice President Chris Hodson (NZL) to have the medal placed over her head, while Norway's Zanko stayed still for his rider Ann Catrin Lubbe to receive the Silver medal.
