France's double Olympic champion Pierre Jonqueres d'Oriola died at his home in the Pyrenees on Tuesday at the age of 91, his daughter Laurence announced. D'Oriola won the gold medal riding Ali Baba for individual jumping at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki. Twelve years later in Tokyo, he was again at the top of the podium winning the individual gold -- this time on Lutteur B -- and sharing the team silver. He won the individual gold in the 1966 world championships in Buenos Aires and went on to take silver in the team event at the Mexico Olympics in 1968, his fifth and final appearance at the Games.
