L’Assemblea Generale FEI ha votato per i nuovi formati dei Giochi Olimpici e Paralimpici di Tokyo 2020 che andrà ora all’IOC Executive Board per l’approvazione finale nel 2017.
Tra le nuove proposte è stata accettato il fatto che le squadre saranno ora di 3 elementi, e non vi sarà più il punteggio da scartare. Ci sarà invece la possibilità di avere un binomio di riserva.
Ecco le modifiche in sostanza (FEI Press Release)
Jumping
-
Teams of three horse/athlete combinations per nation, plus one reserve combination, no drop score
-
20 teams (60 horse/athlete combinations)
-
15 slots for nations not qualified with a team (maximum one horse/athlete combination per nation)
-
Individual event will now take place before Team event
-
Cut-off score: the exact cut-off and resulting penalty will be finalised in the Olympic Regulations
-
The exact penalty for any horse/athlete combination that is eliminated, or does not complete their round for any reason, will be finalised in the Olympic Regulations

-
Teams of three horse/athlete combinations per nation, no drop score
-
Each directly qualified team may bring a reserve rider/horse combination, or horse only
-
One individual per nation not represented by a qualified team (no composite teams)
