Athletes will be looking to achieve scores in their quest to represent Canada at this summers Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Although Equine Canada continues to keep the criteria under lock and key, we do know that it requires athletes to submit four (4) scores achieved within the period of January 1, 2016 to July 1, 2016  of which:

• A minimum of two (2) scores must be from the Grand Prix
• At least one (1) score must be from the Grand Prix Speciale.
  

Karen Pavicic and Megan Lane will be the sole 2 Canadians seeking to attain 2 qualifying scores being the only ones to have declared for the Grand Prix Speciale at this competition. 

 At the moment, Leah Wilkins & Fabian JS are the early leaders on the leaderboard .
