Jumping at Tokyo 2020 - What to expect

Last week, the Australian Olympic Committee announced the Jumping Team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, with Jamie Kermond, Katie Laurie and Edwina Tops-Alexander all selected. We thought it might be a good time to see what the next few weeks holds for them as well as unravelling how the competitions in Tokyo will take place and what we have to look forward to.

Jamie Kermond, who is located at Yandoo Park, in Ebenezer on the north-western outskirts of Sydney will be competing on 15-year-old gelding Yandoo Oaks Constellation (Conquistador x Galaxie Pierville by Jalisco B). For Kermond, this will be his first Olympic Games, however, he is no stranger to representing Australia on the big stage, having competed at WEG in 2006 in Aachen, in 2014 at Normandy and 2018 at Tryon. Kermond is the first Australian based member of an Olympic Jumping Team since the 2020 Sydney Olympics.
