Tokyo, Japan – July 16, 2021 – With only a few weeks to go before the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 kicks off, there’s been a whirlwind of team announcements from equestrian federations around the world selecting their horse-and-rider combinations. Teams will consist of three riders and there continues to be a shake-up of individual slots due to riders unable to earn qualifying scores due to scheduling issues or giving up their slot due to COVID-19 complications. 30 nations will be represented in this year’s Olympic Games with a total of 60 athletes competing.
The show jumping competition for the Olympic Games will kick off Tuesday, August 3 and go through Saturday, August 7.
Phelps Sports will add teams to this article as they are announced.
