Olympic Games – team qualifications
The Pan American Games 2023, which finished in Santiago (CHI) on 5 November, were the final event for equestrian team qualifications in view of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
No less than 23 nations from five continents have qualified at least one team for the Olympic equestrian events, which will be held from 26 July to 6 August 2024 in Versailles.
These nations are: France (as the host nation), Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, The Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America.
Some 11 National Olympic Committees, including France as the host nation, will be represented by teams in each of the three equestrian disciplines, as follows: France, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the United States of America.
Twenty nations have qualified teams in Jumping, 14 in Dressage, and 16 in Eventing. The 15th team slot in Dressage, meant for Olympic Group F (Africa & Middle East), will be re-allocated as per paragraph F (Reallocation of Unused Quota), article 1.5 (Composite Teams) of the Dressage Qualification System, which states:
1.5 Composite Team (see also the Appendix): A three (3) member team from an NOC. The Composite Team will be selected according to the following process:
(i) the respective rankings of each NOC’s top three (3) different Athletes in the FEI Olympic Ranking – Dressage shall be added together to give an aggregate ranking;
(ii) the NOC with the best aggregate ranking shall be awarded the redistributed quota place;
(iii) in the event of a tie (i.e., where the aggregate rankings are the same), the redistributed quota place shall be awarded to the NOC with the highest ranked Athlete on the FEI Olympic Ranking - Dressage. In the event of a further tie, the redistributed quota place shall be awarded to the NOC with the second highest ranked Athlete on the FEI Olympic Ranking - Dressage, and so on. If the tie cannot be broken following this process, the FEI will invite the NOCs/NFs concerned to a draw.
Additional “composite” teams in Dressage and Eventing may be formed on the basis of the Olympic rankings, should the reallocation procedure be used.
Olympic Games – individual qualifications
The Pan American Games 2023 were also used for individual qualification in Olympic Groups D (North America) and E (Central and South America) in Jumping and Dressage.
In Jumping, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia and in Dressage, Chile and Ecuador qualified one individual athlete each.
Individual qualifications, be based on the FEI Olympic rankings, are ongoing.
