Sports News by Ishaan Kaila: Team Lance Event in Equestrian Sports

Tent-pegging or lancing is an equestrian sport in which a rider rides a horse at full gallop and stabs various objects along the way. These objects can include lemons, mannequins, or even rings! All of these activities are done with a lance or sword the rider carries on the horse. It usually happens on a 100-meter course.

India clinched gold in the team lance event with 126.5 points. Pakistan and Nepal grabbed the second and third positions with 124 and 121 points respectively. Besides these three, riders from Belarus and USA also participated in the 3-day event. Out of all these teams, only one will qualify for the World Cup, which will be held in South Africa in 2023.
