Olympics: Dressage Team GP Special
August 3 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Team Dressage Grand Prix Special
No team has won more medals in Olympic team dressage than Germany, which enters the competition as the heavy favorites to win a 14th medal. The German team has won the dressage gold in every Olympic Games since 1984, with the exception of the 2012 London Games where they placed second. Its two stars, Werth and Bredow-Werndl, will be joined by first-time Olympian Frederic Wandres.
Chasing Germany will be the United States, which will look to make history and secure its first ever team gold medal in Olympic dressage this summer. Despite having the second most total team medals in Olympic dressage history with 9, the United States has never won gold, and its silver medal in Tokyo was tied for the team’s best-ever finish. The U.S. will try and unseat the Germans after brining back two of the Tokyo medalists in Peters and Lyle.
Great Britain and Denmark will also enter the competition as medal favorites and title contenders. After claiming bronze in Tokyo, the British team led by Fry secured gold at the 2023 European Championships and silver at the 2022 World Championships. As the only team to beat Germany to an Olympic team dressage gold since 1984, Great Britain will depend on its stars to give them an edge. Meanwhile, the Danish have had a strong comeback since finishing fourth in Tokyo, claiming gold at the 2022 World Championships and third at the 2023 European Championships. With a roster that includes world No. 5 Nanna Skodborg Merrald, No. 7 Cathrine Dufour and No. 9 Daniel Bachmann Andersen, Denmark will be a tough team to beat in Paris.
