Belgium is eyeing two potential qualification pathways for Paris in 2024, and one of those comes next month at the FEI European Eventing Championships to be held in France at Haras du Pin. Two teams without existing Olympic qualification will leave France with a berth in hand, and today Belgium named the six-combination squad from which a final team of four and two individuals will be selected later on with input from team manager Kai Steffen-Meier.
The roster for Belgium will include:
- Lara De Liedekerke – Meier – Hermione d’Arville
- Karin Donckers – Fletcha van’t Verahof
- Cyril Gavrilovic – Elmundo de Gasco
- Tine Magnus – Champagne Pia Z
- Senne Vervaecke – Google van Alsingen
- Jarno Verwimp – Mahalia
Belgium also has a shot to qualify for Paris via the FEI Nations Cup. The winning country (or top-placed country without existing Olympic qualification) at the end of the 2023 Nations Cup series will also earn a berth, and as it stands currently at the top of the leaderboard with four Nations Cup competitions left on the calendar.
