And now I will re-read that sentence a hundred times because it hardly seems possible and even until a couple of months ago I would have thought such a thing was crazy beyond belief I love how Ireland only had 4 individual riders in whole of Olympic history, and now 3 of them from very different generations came together and qualified a team. In case you missed it, Team Ireland Equestrian covered the event with some interviews. OlympicIRL 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents WELL TRAVELLEDShe was born in Paris, France, to a Spanish mother and a French father and spent her early years in Geneva, Switzerland, where her parents own a yard. As a youth rider she was based in Germany before relocating to Netherlands, where she trained alongside riders such as Anky van Grunsven, Andreas Helgstrand, Ton de Ridder and Alex van Silfhout. After eight years in Netherlands she returned to Geneva in 2018. You really gotta love the humor of our spanish friend ... Spain has half of Cuba competing for them despite those athletes not having any connection to Spain and still our spanish friend finds a reason to complain ... about an athlete, who really hasn't much of a connection to Spain, competing for another country she has a much stronger connection to.

Here are the (detailed) individual results. Top 30 advance to the next round, meaning everyone up to and including Florian Bacher. Did she receive a score before being disqualified? In case not, what score would have been appropriate in your oppinion (if you watched her ride)?
