Three horses were held at the eventing World Championships final trot-up this morning and four others were withdrawn before the horse inspection.

The most significant news is that Ryuzo Kitajima has withdrawn Cekatinka JRA, who was 34th after cross-country. They were providing a counting score for the seventh-placed Japanese team, which now has to use the higher mark of Yoshiaki Oiwa (Calle 44). This drops the Japanese down to 11th and out of the Olympic qualification spots, as the top seven teams collect a ticket to Paris 2024 at this championship.
