SYDNEY, Sept 1 (AFP) - British equestrian rider Rodney Powell is out of the Olympics after breaking his leg in a fall during training in Sydney Friday.

Powell had just finished a run on his mount, Flintstone, at the western Sydney Olympic site when the horse took fright and threw the rider, a Games official said.

He was rushed to nearby Liverpool hospital and will undergo surgery later Friday.

Powell was due to compete in the individual three-day event.
