Great Britain continues to hold the lead in the Eventing team competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after a thrilling day of Cross-Country action in the magnificent parkland of Château De Versailles today.

Team Germany – second after yesterday’s opening Dressage phase – today saw a bump off the saddle for Christoph Wahler (Carjatan S) resulting in elimination – putting them 14th of 16 competing nations, as the action resumes with tomorrow’s medal-deciding Jumping phase.

To the delight of the thousands of French fans who turned out to enjoy wonderful sport in the most spectacular of venues today, it is the hosts – Team France – that sit in the silver medal spot. Japan – following three brilliant rounds – have moved up from overnight fifth into bronze medal position, followed by Switzerland, Belgium and New Zealand in the next three placings.
