Lausanne, Switzerland – January 11, 2024 – Following the end of the qualification period on December 31, 2023, the FEI has published the Olympic and Paralympic Rankings which are used as the basis for the individual qualification slots for Paris 2024, and where relevant for reallocation and composite team purposes as per the qualification systems inherent to each discipline.
We have outlined below the current status for team and individual qualification slots within each of the four disciplines – Jumping, Dressage, Eventing, and Para Dressage – which, as you will note, is subject to confirmation based on the relevant qualification requirements, procedures and deadlines.
Jumping Update
Overall quota: 75 Athlete/Horse Combinations – 20 Teams (60 Athlete/Horse Combinations) & 15 Individual Athlete/Horse Combinations
You will find here the Jumping Qualification System and the 20 NOCs that have obtained a Team quota place (subject to meeting relevant MERs – NOC Certificate of Capability to be confirmed by 8 January 2024): France (as host nation), Sweden, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, Poland, United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Japan, Brazil. These NOCs have until 5 February 2024 to confirm their Team quota place with the exception of France (as host country) who is required to confirm by 8 January 2024.
Once all 20 Teams have been confirmed (including any required reallocation process February/March 2024), only NOCs that have not accepted a Team quota place will be eligible to obtain one of the 15 Individual quota places, based on the FEI Olympic Ranking for Jumping published today, which compiles the best 15 results per Athlete/Horse Combination in the Olympic Ranking Events within the period from 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023.
Currently, were the above 20 NOCs to confirm their Team allocation (and have met all the requirements), the following nations will have qualified an Individual qualification slot – which would also need to be confirmed by 18 March 2024 as per the qualification timeline/process. Should any nations not use their Team qualification slot, the reallocation process for unused Team quota places would have an impact on the nations listed below.
