GB's Fox-Pitt settles for World Equestrian bronze

Great Britain's William Fox-Pitt is yet to earn a global title after earning a bronze medal at the World Equestrian Games in Normandy.

The individual gold went to Germany's Sandra Auffarth and horse Opgun Louvo after Fox-Pitt and Chilli Morning went a fence down during their attempt.

"I'm happy to have clung on to a medal," Fox-Pitt told BBC Sport. "Chilli Morning had a fence down, which is a little bit frustrating, but he could have had two - he was leg-weary. I'd love to have won gold but I'm more relieved that I got bronze, than frustrated."

In the team event, Britain took the silver medal, which has cemented their qualification to the Rio 2016 Olympics.
