2024 Paris Olympics: Show Jumping Team Final Results, USA Wins Silver



In an exciting finish to the 2024 Paris Olympics team show jumping final, Great Britain’s riders all jumped clear, but incurred two time penalties to grab the gold ahead of the U.S. team, who captured silver with only four penalties. The home nation, France, finished on seven penalties for bronze.



Laura Kraut and Baloutinue, the lead-off pair for the USA, brought down only one rail and stayed within the time allowed to start the U.S. team out with four faults. The USA’s Karl Cook riding Caracole de la Roque, the middle rider to go for the U.S. team this afternoon, jumped clear and was the fastest (75.88) for the team. Team anchor rider McLain Ward on Ilex jumped clear as well in 76.57 to add no penalties to the team’s score.

This is the USA’s third consecutive Olympic silver medal, with the other two being in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016 and in Tokyo, Japan, in 2021. Great Britain last won show jumping team gold in London in 2012. The last Olympic team show jumping medal for France was gold in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
