In Paris 2024, Italia Team will also be represented in show jumping. The decision comes after the closing of the individual Olympic ranking, reserved for the National Olympic Committees that had not yet qualified the team.

The ranking, which considers the 15 best results of the athlete/horse combination in the events recognised by the FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale), favours an Italian pair.

Indeed, Emanuele Camilli and his Odense Odeveld (photo ANSA) finished first in Group B with 1215 points. Behind them is another Italian, Emanuele Gaudiano, who scored 1090 points with his horse, Chalou. Only one national place is up for grabs, however, for each National Olympic Committee, so, in addition to Italy, Portugal will also be at the Olympic Games thanks to the third place (942 points) of Duarte Seabra with his horse Dourados 2.

After securing the Olympic quota in the team eventing, the National Equestrian Sports Team can now celebrate their qualification for the individual show jumping competition.
