None of Israel’s equestrian athletes have qualified for the individual jumping final in today’s qualifier event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Colombian-Israeli Daniel Bluman, considered the strongest rider of the delegation, had to end his round early after his horse Ladriano refused to jump over one of the obstacles.
French-Israeli Robin Muhr received 8 penalty points and US-Israeli Isabella Russekoff received 20 penalty points, and none of the three finished among the top 30 entrants of 74 competitors who qualified for tomorrow’s final.
Russekoff, the reserve member of the Israeli team, jumped in place of Ashlee Bond, who decided not to take part in the individual competition to allow her horse to recover following a challenging round during the team jumping final. Overall, the Israeli team finished 9th in the team competition last week after qualifying for the final in a historic first.
