FILE - In this Aug. 17, 2016, file photo, from left, United States' Lucy Davis, Kent Farrington, McLain Ward and Elizabeth Madden celebrate after winning a silver medal in the equestrian team jumping competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ward returns to the U.S. equestrian show jumping team for the Tokyo Olympics, where they'll be a new wrinkle – three-person teams instead of four. It's part of an IOC directive to cut down on competitor numbers in some sports. It means that in the team show jumping event, they'll no longer be a fourth, or worst, score to throw out, making it easier for the public and television audiences to understand the scoring system as the event proceeds.
