On the recommendation of the relevant Swiss Equestrian selection committees, Swiss Olympic has selected the show jumping riders for the Paris Olympic Games.
In show jumping, four riders will be going to Paris. Both the team and individual competitions will be held on the basis of a qualifying round and a final round, with three riders per nation, with no possibility of a strike-out result in the team ranking. The ranking for the final event starts from zero each time. Couples can be changed between events under certain conditions.

Martin Fuchs, Wängi TG with Leone JEI (owner: Adolfo Juri)
