The final competition on the Equestrian Program at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games gets under way later tonight (Monday 5 August) when 74 combinations will hit the arena in the Individual Qualifying round.
Australia will be represented by the three combinations which did us proud in the team’s competition last week.
The first of the Australians on course will be Hilary Scott and Milky Way at 18th place on the start list. They will be followed by Thaisa Erwin and Hialita B, who will come out at 41st. The Australians will be rounded out by Edwina Tops-Alexander and Fellow Castlefield who will only have seven combinations behind them after they take to the arena as the 67th combination.
The top 30 combinations will be invited back tomorrow to contest the medals.
The action gets underway at 2:00 pm local time or 10:00 pm AEST. The best way to follow along is to download the Paris 2024 Olympics App at: https://bit.ly/3A5ho10
We wish all our representatives the very best of luck.
