The individual eventing event at the 2024 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place from 27 July to 29 July 2024 at the Château de Versailles.

Like all other equestrian events, the eventing competition is open-gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division.

Background

This will be the 26th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since it was introduced in 1912.

Qualification

See main article: Equestrian at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification.

Competition format

The eventing competition features all riders competing in three rounds (dressage, cross-country, and jumping) with the top 25 advancing to a second jumping round. Scores from the first three rounds are summed to determine finalists; scores from all four rounds are summed to give a final score for the finalists.^[1]

Dressage test: A shortened dressage competition, with penalties based on the dressage score
Cross-country test: A race over a 4.5 kilometres cross-country course. The time allotted is 8 minutes (570 metres per minute), with penalties assessed for exceeding that time. There are a maximum of 38 obstacles, with penalties assessed for faults. Staggered starts.
Jumping test: A 600-metre show jumping course, with 11 or 12 obstacles (including double and triple jumps, with a maximum of 16 jumps total). Maximum height of obstacles is 1.25 metres. The required speed is 375 metres/minute (time limit of 1:36). Penalties are assessed for exceeding the time limit and for faults at the obstacles.
Final jumping test: A shorter (360–500 metres) show jumping course. Maximum obstacles is 9, with maximum 12 jumps. The speed required is still 375 metres per minute. Obstacles may be slightly higher (1.30 metres).

Schedule

The event takes place over three days, beginning with the dressage followed by cross-country and jumping on the next two days.
