Brilliant Irish Show Jumping team
claim Olympic qualification for Paris
O
N an evening of high drama at the ECCO FEI
World Show Jumping Championships in Herning,
Denmark last Friday night, an outstanding
performance from Michael Blake’s Irish Show
Jumping team of Denis Lynch, Bertram Allen,
Cian O’Connor and Daniel Coyle, saw them take one of the
five coveted places on offer for the 2024 Olympic Games
in Paris.
At the end of one of the most thrilling nights in the history
of the sport, Ireland climbed from overnight ninth place
to finish fourth overall and take one of the five Olympic
places on offer - and at the finish, missed out on the bronze
medal by just one penalty.
Just the top 10 teams from the 22 that started the week
made it through to the final under floodlights, with Ireland
starting the evening in ninth place overall, carrying
forward a score of 17.15 penalties from the first two rounds
held on Wednesday and Thursday.
Tipperary’s Denis Lynch was first to jump for Michael
Blake’s Ireland with his Rome Grand Prix winner ‘Brooklyn
Heights’. The World No. 25 produced an excellent round,
jumping clear over the fences, picking up just one time
fault over what was proving a very difficult course.
Wexford’s Bertram Allen then gave Ireland another huge
boost when he jumped an outstanding clear round with
ON FORM: Bertram Allen and ‘Pacino Amiro’ (ISH)
jumped clear in the final to help Ireland move up to fourth
place in the World Championships. (FW33-537NN)

the Irish Sport Horse ‘Pacino Amiro’. Those rounds from
Lynch and Allen moved Ireland up five places to fourth,
with two riders left to jump for each of the 10 teams.
