Late change to Australian eventing team

Following the acceptance of all Australian team horses at the first horse inspection yesterday, a decision has been taken that Leporis, ridden by Stuart Tinney, will not start the competition and will be replaced by Kevin McNab riding Don Quidam.

Based on advice from the team veterinarians and in consultation with the athletes, the decision was made in the best interest of the horse and team. Under the new Olympic format, Leporis and Stuart Tinney now become the P alternate combination.
