The individual dressage event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place from 24 to 28 July 2021 at the Baji Koen.[1] Like all other equestrian events, the dressage competition is open-gender, with both male and female athletes competing in the same division. 60 riders from 30 nations are expected to compete.[2]

Background

[edit]

This was the 25th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since 1912.

The two-time reigning Olympic champion is Charlotte Dujardin of Great Britain (riding Valegro). The reigning (2018) World Champion is Isabell Werth of Germany.

An Olympics.com preview of equestrian (all events) provided the following overview:

Germany has won the most gold medals in Olympic equestrian sports (26 to be exact), reflecting the country's equestrian heritage and passion for the sport. Michael Jung has dominated individual eventing at recent Games, winning gold in both London 2012 and Rio 2016. Jung was destined to carve his name into equestrian history: both his father and grandfather were well-known equestrian athletes. Sweden, France, the USA and Great Britain are among the other leading nations in equestrian sport.[3]

Qualification

[edit]
Main article: Equestrian at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Qualification

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 3 qualified riders in the individual dressage. Quota places are allocated to the NOC, which selects the riders. There were 60 quota places available, allocated as follows:[2]

  • Team members (45 places): Each of the 15 NOCs qualified in the team dressage event entered its 3 team members in the individual dressage event.
  • Ranking (15 places): The top 2 riders (1 per NOC, and excluding NOCs with qualified teams) in each of the 7 geographic regions were to receive a quota places, with one final quota place based on rankings regardless of geographic region. The two Americas regions were combined. A withdrawal by Norway resulted in one of the Group A places being reallocated to the world ranking.

Competition format

[edit]

The competition format has changed dramatically from prior Games. The competition has dropped from three rounds to two; moreover, advancement is now determined first by place in group rather than overall place (though there are lucky loser places available). The two rounds of the competition are the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Freestyle.[4][3]

  • Grand Prix: All 60 riders compete in the Grand Prix. They are divided into 6 groups of 10; 3 groups will go on each day of the round. The top 2 riders in each group, along with the next best 6 overall, advance to the Grand Prix Freestyle. The Grand Prix is also the qualifying round for the team event.
  • Grand Prix Freestyle: The 18 riders competing receive a final rank based only on the Grand Prix Freestyle score (the Grand Prix scores do not carry over).

Schedule

[edit]

The event takes place on three competition days over five days, with two days for the Grand Prix followed by a rest day, the team final day, then the individual Grand Prix Freestyle.[1]

All times are Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).[5][6]

Day 2 Sunday 25 July 2021 17:00 22:00 Grand Prix Day 2

Grand Prix Freestyle

[edit]

The Grand Prix Freestyle was drawn in groups of 6 in reverse order of the results in the Grand Prix. For the first time at the Olympics, the FEI Degree Of Difficulty system was used:[11] each of the riders electronically submitted a floorplan of their movements ahead of the competition and were assigned a maximum difficulty score by computer. The judges then assessed the competitors according to their unique scoresheet.
