This will be your one-stop hub for EN’s articles and coverage throughout the Games, or you can also follow our Olympics tag here.

On social media, here’s a list of accounts to follow:
And when you’re posting on social yourself, remember your posts help the IOC see just how popular our sport is! The hashtags they’ll be monitoring for performance are: #paris2024 #equestrian #eventing #dressage #jumping
As usual, this week will be a hot bed of scamming activity on social media. Our best advice is not to click on any links promising live stream access or accept friend requests from “Paris 2024” oriented pages. These are usually scam pages.
EN’s Coverage
Below, we’ll keep a list of links up to date with all of EN’s comprehensive eventing coverage. It’s best to keep this page or our Olympics tag bookmarked to stay on top of everything!
The equestrian sports at Paris 2024 will take place at the Palace of Versailles.
