 | Taking the lead with just four faults after round 1, the French added nothing more to their score and their final rider, Gilles Bertran de Balanda did not have to jump a second time as they stormed to victory on their home soil. |
| It was a tense and nervous opening competition, with riders very much aware that a good performance was vital if their country is to stay within the top-eight show jumping nations in the world. |
| Relegation was far from French minds yesterday however as, in front of their home crowd, Michel Hecart (Quilano de Kalvarie) and Gilles de Balanda (Crocus Graverie) jumped clear over the 12-fence first-round track. |
