Ireland have booked the second team ticket to the LA28 Olympic Games after finishing seventh in the final of the FEI World Championships.Jessica Kuertens team of Darragh Kenny with Eddy Blue, Bertram Allen with Qonquest De Rigo, Cian OConnor with Chatolinue PS and Shane Sweetnam with the Irish Sport Horse James Kann Cruz climbed from 10th to seventh and secured the all-important place at the 2028 Summer Games.On what proved a difficult and dramatic night for the worlds best in Aachen, all three of Irelands combinations came home with just one pole down for four faults to finish on a final team tally of 23.69.That was enough to ensure the Irish, who had lost Darragh Kennys Eddy Blue after his withdrawal during the day, claimed the all-important qualification spot, joining the Eventing team on the plane after they secured their slot last Sunday with a fourth-placed finish in Aachen. Hosts Germany took gold, with Belgium runners up and Great Britain winning bronze.A thrilled Horse Sport Irelands Senior Jumping Manager gave her thoughts after her team dug in to secure qualification to the Summer Games in two years time.She said: Im absolutely delighted that weve made qualification for the Olympics in LA in 2028.It was really exciting sport all week and we had to fight to get into the final, then came the the bad news that we needed to go without Eddy Blue in the final tonight. That hit us very hard but in true Irish style, everybody pulled together and gave it their absolute best shot to earn us the qualification. I think when were very realistic we have to be delighted that were going to Los Angeles.The post Kuerten delight as Ireland earn LA28 qualification after finishing seventh in World Championship final appeared first on .

Great Britain secured a hard-fought team bronze at the showjumping World Championships in Aachen, Germany on Friday night, ending a dramatic evening under the floodlights with a podium finish and, importantly, qualification for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.The British quartet of Scott Brash and Hello Mango, Adrian Whiteway and Chacco Volo, Harry Charles and LT Holst Freda, and Ben Maher and Point Break (pictured top) produced the consistency required to stay in medal contention in one of the most fiercely competitive championships in recent memory.At the sharp end of the competition, Germany were in a class of their own, taking gold on home soil ahead of Belgium in silver and Britain in bronze. The finals scores were Germany on 4.48, Belgium on 11.69 and Great Britain on 12.98. The USA dropped from silver to fourth on an eventual score of 16.85, while Italy were fifth on 19.69. Scott Brash, the final British rider into the arena, said afterwards: You stay focused on your job and go and try and execute it. Unfortunately, I had number one down, which dropped us down a place, but thankfully we held it together and came away with the bronze. So I think were all very happy in the end.It was an appropriately measured assessment from a rider who has spent much of his career thriving when the pressure is greatest. Scott had already delivered a crucial clear in the previous round to secure Britains place in the final and had carried the teams hopes into the closing stages.Adrian Whiteway, competing at his first World Championships, said: Its a special, special thing to win bronze here. My team mates have been amazing all week, and this is a dream come true.Whiteways inclusion represented the next generation of British championship talent. The 25-year-old and Chacco Volo had impressed on Nations Cup teams and at five-star level before being selected for Aachen, and their experience here will surely prove invaluable.Harry Charles, who produced a sparkling clear round today with the relatively new ride LT Holst Freda commented: I think were all very happy to get the bronze and I wish the World Championships could be here every time. Its an incredible venue. I got goosebumps walking into that ring, especially tonight with the floodlights.For Ben Maher, his clear round aboard Point Break proved very important when he was first to go in the team order. Having taken time to keep the stallion relaxed during the day, Ben entered the arena confident that the 12-year-old would rise to the occasion.He was brave, perfect, Ben said. Today, I got him out twice, just quietly hacking him around, so he was nice and relaxed, and he hasnt jumped under lights too much, but I knew his quality would come through his evening. He went in there and he gave me the exact ride that I had planned and visualised, and when that happens, theres not a lot to say really it doesnt happen very often, but he was absolute perfection for me this evening, and Im very proud of him and my team.Ben, who heads into Sundays individual final in bronze on a score of 1.01, also praised the track, describing it as big, but fair, with the pressure increasing as the final riders entered the arena and the medals came into view.The result was particularly satisfying for Di Lampard, Britains experienced chef dquipe, who has overseen the development of a squad increasingly capable of producing under championship pressure. Germany unbeatable on home soilGermanys team gold was emphatic., and even when the rain was pouring down on the Aachen venue during the prize-giving, the crowd remained in tact to support their home side. Sophie Hinners, Daniel Deusser, Marcus Ehning and Richard Vogel combined experience and youthful exuberance to deliver a remarkable championship performance, while national coach Otto Becker watched his team make history in front of an ecstatic Aachen crowd.Its an amazing feeling in front of the home crowd here, came the German reaction. I think its so special. We had such a great atmosphere here under the lights, and with this performance, with the team spirit we had, its an unbelievable feeling.For Marcus, a veteran of the Aachen arena, the occasion was especially poignant.Its for me unbelievable after 20 years here, he said. The best crowd in the world, best show in the world.Richard was perhaps the most relaxed member of the German team. After three teammates had produced the rounds needed to secure the title, he could enter the arena knowing that the championship was already won.After three riders today, we already had the title, so I probably was the happiest rider going on to United Touch, he said. It was quite hard to stay focused, but again, I could have not been any happier to ride into the arena tonight.Otto was visibly proud of what his riders had achieved.I have no words for this team, he said. Im really proud of what they did the last couple of weeks, the last couple of days, and that was special today.Winning in Aachen, he added, made the achievement even more significant. We are really happy that we could bring this performance in the stadium, that we could win the world title.Belgium hold on for silverBelgium produced the closest challenge to the hosts and ultimately took a well-deserved silver, with their medal secured only in the closing stages.Their riders had remained in contention throughout the championship, with the margins between the leading teams remarkably small. The pressure was immense on the final Belgian combinations, who knew that even one fence down could have changed the colour of their medal or even dropped them out of contention completely. We knew it was going to be very close, very tough with those nice Germans there, Belgian rider Thibeau Spits explained. So we said, okay, well focus, well try our best, and be on the ball, and it worked out.It was a fantastic team effort. Were super happy to get the silver medal here behind Germany.The individual final at the showjumping World Championships gets underway at 1.20pm (UK time) on Sunday 23 August. The top 25 individual scores from the three rounds of competition so far will take part and there are three British riders who will line up: Harry Charles and LT Holst Freda in 23rd on a score of 7.17; Scott Brash and Hello Mango in 10th on a score of 4.80 and Ben Maher and Point Break in third on a score of 1.01. Germanys Daniel Deusser (Otello de Guldenboom) and Switzerlands Steve Guerdat (Dynamix de Belheme) hold joint first on 0.86.
