“Where it gets interesting is where substitutions and penalties for non-completion of the phases are now available” – Pippa Roome explains the new Olympic format for eventing
“It makes sense for the individual final to happen before the team competition for the first time this year” – Jennifer Donald on the new Olympic showjumping schedule
“I feel strongly that this year, more than any other since Rio, we have more combinations who are very capable of beating Isabelle Werth and Bella Rose, with whom she has won individual gold at every championship since 2017” – Polly Bryan on individual dressage medal chances
