Equestrian at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Team dressage explained

The team dressage event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 30 July to 3 August 2024 at the Palace of Versailles.^[1] Like all other equestrian events, the dressage competition is open-gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division. 60 riders from 30 nations are expected to compete.^[2] In total 15 (fifteen) countries competed in the Grand Prix with a team. ^[3]

Competition format

The competition format has remained the same as in Tokyo. There are only 3 team members instead of 4, with no dropped score. The two rounds of the competition are the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Special.^[4]

• Grand Prix: All 15 teams compete in the Grand Prix. The top 10 teams, based on the aggregate score of the team's 3 riders, advance to the final round. The Grand Prix is also the qualifying round for the individual event.
• Grand Prix Special: The 10 teams competing receive a final rank based only on the Grand Prix Special score, again the aggregate score of the 3 riders (the Grand Prix scores do not carry over). Grand Prix Special routines may be set to (background) music.

Schedule

The event takes place on three competition days over six days, with two days for the Grand Prix followed by two rest days, the team final day on Saturday with the Grand Prix Special, concluding the individual Grand Prix Freestyle on Sunday.

All times are European Central Time (UTC+1).^{[5] [6]}
