Biography

The 1980 equestrian games were not a top competition, like the other Olympic Games, because almost all the top riders missed the competition due to the boycott. In the jumping competition, the Soviets were favored in both the individual and team competition, but they were upset by Jan Kowalczyk of Poland and Nikolay Korolkov had to settle for an individual silver, while taking gold in team event. Besides his two Olympic medals, Korolkov was five times Soviet champion (1972, 1973, 1977, 1980, 1981).
