The individual show jumping at the 1960 Summer Olympics took place on 7 September, at the Stadio Olimpico. The event was open to men and women. It was the 11th appearance of the event.[1] There were 60 competitors from 23 nations.[2] Each nation could have up to three riders. The event was won by Raimondo D'Inzeo of Italy, with his elder brother Piero D'Inzeo taking silver. The brothers (silver and bronze medalists, respectively, in 1956) were the second and third riders to win multiple medals in individual jumping; all three were Italian (Tommaso Lequio di Assaba had done it in 1920 and 1924). It was the nation's first gold medal in the event since Lequio di Assaba's in 1920; Italy's two golds tied France for most all-time. David Broome earned Great Britain's first medal in the event with his bronze.
