A much-simplified format was introduced for Tokyo. Thirty riders qualified (coincidentally exactly the number who avoided any jumping faults) from the competition on the Tuesday evening. Then, the following day, a single round of jumping was followed by a jump-off for the medals amongst those who rode faultless rounds. The qualifying round put paid to the chances of the entire American team and 2012 champion Steve Guerdat (SUI), but most of the favourites progressed to the final without great difficulty.
Eight riders completed the final without knocking any of the fences over but, unfortunately for them, Cian O’Connor of Ireland and Scott Brash of Great Britain missed the fight for the medals by finishing 0.4 seconds each over the required time. Of the six that did reach the jump-off, three were from the World Championship silver medal winning team from Sweden and one each from the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Japan.
The first three to go in the jump-off all went clear and all improved their predecessor’s time, but then Great Britain’s Ben Maher and the nimble footed Explosion W edged ahead of Peder Fredricson by only 0.17 of a second. The last two could not improve on Maher and Fredricson, although Maikel van der Vleuten did edge out Henrik von Eckermann to win bronze.
