OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted August 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2022 We just got our fancy new Team Ireland Club so what better way to open our first thread than with the exciting news of our first 2024 Olympic quotas! Ireland have just earned a team quota place for the Team Jumping Equestrian competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games courtesy of a 4th place finish at the World Equestrian Games in Herning, Denmark. The team consisting of Denis Lynch, Bertram Allen, Cian O'Connor and Daniel Coyle put in a battling performance in the final round of the team championships to climb from 9th at the start of day to 4th at the finish and inside the Top 5 which crucially awards Ireland the right to send a team to the Olympics in 2 years time. Ireland finished just less than 1 time fault behind Great Britain who claimed the bronze medal. Congratulations to all involved! Team Ireland 2024 is now officially up and running! The 5 Olympic qualifying team spots were allocated as follows: Cian O'Connor, Denis Lynch and Bertram Allen all advance to Sunday's individual final consisting of the top 25 individual performers at these championships.

Oldira 76 Posted August 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It’s great news. Years of failure to qualify a jumping team and last gasp qualifiers for 2020 so it’s a massive thing to be qualified at first attempt. On to our eventing team now.
