Dressage

Eventing’s Individual and Team competitions ran together over the course of three days and three phases – dressage, cross country and jumping. There were 64 athletes from 27 nations chasing Individual glory as well as 16 nations in the Team competition.

Day one's dressage was historic as the Palace of Versailles -- which dates back to the 17th century -- became an Olympic venue! Thousands of fans packed the temporary stands to get a glimpse of their favourites.

Dressage began with reigning Olympic champion Julia Krajewski, who was competing with Nickel 21. It was a day to remember as the leaders at the end of the dressage phase produced a new Olympic record thanks to three fantastic performances! Meanwhile, Great Britain’s Laura Collett & London 52 were on top in the Individual standings. Watch it all back here.

Cross country

Has there ever been a greater day’s equestrian sport than the first Sunday of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games? The cross-country course stretched out through the stunning woods and waterways of the iconic Palace of Versailles. Thousands of fans thronged beside the competition tracks on a beautifully sunny day in France.

Laura Collett and Great Britain continued their push for glory, while two-time Olympic Individual champion Michael Jung produced a round to remember with Chipmunk. The huge crowds also gave their full backing to the French team as they impressed around the course. Watch the full video here.

Jumping

The Eventing competition reached its climax on the third day with two finals. First up was the Team final as Great Britain attempted to retain their title following their success at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Could they hold off the challenge of hosts France? Would the European giants be able to outscore the exciting Japanese team?

Once the Team medals were decided, the focus then switched to the Individual final as 25 athletes returned to the show ring. Germany’s Michael Jung began the round in first place, but he was closely followed by Australia’s Chris Burton and Great Britain’s Laura Collett. Could Jung win a historic third Olympic title, or would there be a new champion? Watch back the Individual and Team final rounds here.

‘A very special moment’

After securing his win, Michael Jung admitted to feeling the pressure in his quest for a historic third Individual Olympic title. Indeed, when the competition was over, he could hardly believe what he had achieved.

Jung said: “I tried to say to myself it’s just a normal show. I try to push my horse not too much, to give him the feeling it’s a normal show, although it’s not so easy with so many spectators. In the end I needed to look at the board to see that it’s really true (that he won gold again), and now I need a moment to realise what it means. It’s a very special moment for me.”

Reflecting on picking up Team gold and Individual bronze on the same day, GB’s Collett said: “I never thought this day would come. Things haven’t gone to plan really in any of my senior appearances. In Tokyo, I thought I should have and could have won an Individual medal but things didn’t go to plan, but I’ve luckily learned from my mistakes.

“We had a very strict plan coming here so that we wouldn’t make the same mistakes as Tokyo and the plan paid off. I’m just so lucky to have been given a second chance. Not many people get to go to one Olympic Games, and I was lucky enough to go to two – so I’m very relieved that I managed to pull it off.”
