Olympic Dressage Grand Prix Start List, Denmark 1st Up

LONDON, July 31–Anne van Olst and Clearwater will lead off Olympic team dressage competition for Denmark when the Grand Prxix starts Thursday with a format of two phases being used for the first time to decide medals.

Canada will follow and then Australia, Spain, Great Britain, United States, Sweden, Poland Netherlands and Germany.

The starting order of 10 nations with teams of three combination was produced by a draw held Tuesday after a veterinary inspection that experienced no major hiccups, only slight unease when Painted Black to be ridden for Spain by 19-year-old Morgan Barbançon, the youngest rider in the dressage, was held for a few minutes after the first jog but passed the second time. Spain already lost one of it’s top horses when Delgado ridden by Olympic veteran Beatriz Ferrer-Salat was withdrawn and replaced by Grandioso and ridden by Jose Manuel Martin Dockx.

The team competition will start with the Grand Prix scheduled for two days, Thursday and Friday, with the top seven teams moving on to the Grand Prix Special on Tuesday, Aug. 7. The Grand Prix and the Special will each count for 50 per cent of the scores to decide the medals.

Individual medals will be decided by the Grand Prix Musical Freestyle on Aug. 9, capping two weeks of competition in the three Olympic disciplines of dressage, eventing and jumping.

The ground jury will consist of seven judges, with a panel of three reviewing the marks in an attempt to correct anomolies.
