Show Jumping Teams Announced for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

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.

Dasrie and Beat Mandli, Jessica Springsteen and Don Juan Van de Donkhoeve, Igor van de Wittemoere and Nayel Nassar

The show jumping competition for the Olympic Games will kick off Tuesday, August 3 and go through Saturday, August 7.
