Equestrian Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Road to Paris 2024

[Bearas 365]

 Lithuania confirmed their entries to Paris. No surprises or shocks, as  I don't think anyone else would be even eligible to enter :

 

Dressage: Justina Vanagaitė with Nabab

Eventing: Aistis Vitkauskas with Commander VG

For Aistis that is the case, but in dressage there should be two reserves on the ready: Sandra Sysojeva and Dalia Katinaite-Pranckeviciene.

 

Sadly Sysojeva was out for most of the last season when the team qualification mattered, however this year she made a stellar debut on a new horse Maxima Bella - 70% right off the bat.

 Shane Rose participation in Olympics in doubt after a heavy fall in cross country session this week. He was taken to intensive care where he received treatment for broken femur and fractured pelvis.

The FEI have confirmed the ground jury for the Dressage competition in Paris:

 

•  Raphael Saleh (President)
•  Henning Lehrmann
•  Isabel Wessels
•  Mariette Sanders
•  Magnus Ringmark
•  Michael Osinski
•  Susanne Baarup

 

Based on previous experience, I expect the inclusion of Wessels to be met with a degree of disgust and will give rise to plenty of conspiracy theories when it comes to scoring of the  riders.

Just read the official confirmation from FEI, so sad that Svenja GRIMM lost the quota. She gave an interview to a Chilean newspaper

 

Not sure if is fair or unfair, but it's sad that qualifications that happen based on tournaments are still not confirmed. I remember thinking about that still in Santiago, but was hoping they would not take her out of the games.

Sysoeva now is representing Poland and probably could fight for OG
