Poland completed the qualifier with all four riders on a total score of 129.9
Individual Minimum Eligibility Requirements (MERs) were also being chased and achieved.
"It may seem like it was so easy, whereas I think each rider will confirm that it was a very difficult as well as demanding competition” says Poland's representative in the CCIO4*-L Olympic competition and member of the Baborówko Equestrian Association, Paweł Warszawski.
“On top of that, every athlete has to have the minimum qualification and of us have achieved it here."
