The coach of Germany's modern pentathlon team was kicked out of the Tokyo Olympics for punching a horse that balked at jumping during a pivotal moment in competition.
Still, that was no excuse for her coach's behavior, the Modern Pentathlon Foundation “The UIPM Executive Board has given a black card to the Germany team coach Kim Raisner, disqualifying her from the remainder of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games,” it said.
"Rules must change in such a way so that rider and horse are protected," Hoermann said."The focus must be on the welfare of the animals and the fair competition for athletes." The modern pentathlon is a venerable Olympic sport that dates back to 1912 and sees athletes compete in five different events — fencing, freestyle swimming, equestrian show-jumping, pistol shooting and cross-country running.
