Hopes of a podium place were dashed in the final round as Ireland’s showjumpers came seventh in Friday's team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Shane Sweetnam, Daniel Coyle and Cian O'Connor finished with 14 combined penalties. Before the last jumper they were in fourth, but two fences down pushed them out of contention.
