OLYMPIC records were broken across the board in the eventing competition at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, when Britain won a record fifth team gold medal and Germany’s Michael Jung became the first event rider to be crowned the Olympic champion on three occasions.

The stadium at the fabulous Château de Versailles was packed to capacity, with 16,300 screaming fans for an exciting final day at the venue, which delivered in spades on all three days of the competition. “Better than London”, were some of the comments from the Olympians who experienced both.
