Mads Hendeliowitz competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with an Oldenburg stallion Jimmie Choo. He finished 29th in the individual and 5th in the team competition. Mads was initially named as a reserve rider for the Rio Olympics. However, he went on to compete at the Games after his teammate Therese Nilshagen was unable to participate due to her horse Dante Weltino failing a pre-competition veterinary examination.
