Team Sweden has been dominating the show jumping championships as the reigning Olympic, World and most recently, European Champions, and will be defending their title as the 2022 BMO Nations’ Cup winners. Ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, the America’s (Canada, United States and Mexico) still need to qualify as teams with two opportunities left (Barcelona Nations’ Cup Finals and Pan American Games). National Federations are sure to be watching the results of this week’s ‘Masters’ competitions as team selections are finalized.

With the final competitors arriving later today, the FEI Veterinary Inspection will take place tomorrow ahead of competitions starting on Wednesday.
