Equestrian Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[dcro 10,210]

Looking at the events to come, Montelibretti is hosting a pretty sizeable show this week with riders from chasing points. Portugal and Thailand are indeed pretty close to the qualification zone, as is Morocco in Group F.

 

This is in fact the final qualifying event in Europe so it will be now or never for these.

 

Otherwise, South Africa is hosting an event where Jessica George will be potentially looking to secure a second individual quota (pending on what happens in Montelibretti as well).

 

Florida will be hosting an event mid-November with possible Latin American interest, while both Brazil and Chile will be hosting events in December where the final outcome of the Latin American individual quotas will be decided.

Aistis Vitkauskas will have to wait and see what happens in Italy this week, but he would have to be extremely unlucky to lose the Olympics at this point... Looks like a historic moment is coming up for Lithuania.

I thought it was Vanagaitė that was going to qualify as the first Lithuanian Olympic rider

She is headed there too, but will be confirmed later.

 

Nice little duo overall.

Individual qualification simulation for dressage as of October 31st...

 

Group A -

Group B -

Group C -

Group D&E -

Group F -

Group G -

Overall -

 

Group F team quota is almost certainly getting reallocated to a composite team. Current ranking (sum of the top 3 riders' rankings) is as follows:

 

261

273

352

397

430

476

 

Finland though has a lot of room to improve, more so than Portugal.

[dcro 10,210]

If Finland gains a team, then Ireland stands to get an individual reallocation. If it goes to Portugal, then Italy would profit.

 

Other than that, battle for the individual quotas is mostly decided. Only will likely overtake both by the end while will do everything to try to overtake .

Results are in from Montelibretti and the South African eventing competitions from the weekend...

 

Overall there are no big implications for the rankings, except in the Group F. Jessica George won the event in South Africa and now tops the Group F rankings, however South Africa will still have only one starter as Noor Slaoui did enough in Montelibretti to overtake Alexandra Munn on tie-break.

 

Tough luck for Usman Khan who was in for the whole year, basically, but ends up as only the second reserve following an elimination in Montelibretti.

 

History for Morocco as never before they had qualified in eventing.

As there are no more events in Europe, these individual quotas are effectively confirmed now:

Group A -

Group B -

Group C - @Vektor

Group F -

Group G -

Overall -
