Jacques Cariou (23 September 1870 – 7 October 1931)[1][2] was a French show jumping champion and military officer. Cariou participated at the 1912 Summer Olympics held in Stockholm, where he won a gold medal in the individual jumping, a silver medal in team jumping with the horse Mignon, and a bronze medal in individual three-day eventing with the horse Cocotte.

Biography

Cariou was born in 1870 in Peumerit, Brittany.[3] Cariou spent his early years as a teacher and horsemanship instructor,[2] but later would go on to join the Army. He would eventually rise to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.[4] Early in his military years, he was awarded France's Order of Agricultural Merit as well as a foreign award from Belgium, but it is not known how he came to be awarded these honors.[5]

1912 Olympics

Cariou was selected by the Army to represent France at the 1912 Olympic Games. During the games, Cariou participated in all three equestrian disciplines. He placed 14th individually in the dressage competition on Mignon. He would win an individual gold medal in the jumping competition and help the French team win the silver medal in the team competition. Riding Cocotte, he won an individual bronze medal in the eventing competition.[6][7]

World War 1

After the Olympics, he returned to the Army. France shortly would become embroiled in World War I. In 1915, he led a battalion in the Battle of Champagne where he was gassed. His actions as the leader of his unit would later earn him a knighthood of the Legion of Honour.[8]

Later life

He remained with the Army and would later be honored as an officer of the Legion of Honour for his later work as a military officer.[9]

Cariou died on 7 October 1931.[10]

Legacy

Prior to the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, Cariou's hometown of Peumerit honored their former Olympic champion with a commemorative plaque in the town center, and named the local sports arena after him.[11][12]
