Nine months after losing the lead in the FEI eventing world athlete rankings, Rosalind Canter (GBR) has reclaimed the number one position. She replaces Olympic gold medallist and compatriot Oliver Townend, who had held the top spot since October 2023.
Rosalind’s rise to the top is marked by her impressive ascent from third place last month. As the reigning European champion, she stands out as the only athlete to surpass the 500-point mark, boasting 519 points. Oliver follows in second place with 492 points, while fellow Brit Tom McEwen secures third with 454 points.
“I was quite shocked to hear I’m world number one, as it was something that wasn’t on my radar,” said Rosalind. “It’s exciting news, and I’m thrilled for my whole team because this is a joint effort. I’ve been lucky to have some fantastic horses.”
The latest FEI eventing world athlete rankings also highlight other notable performances. Belgium’s Lara De Liedekerke-Meier has climbed 10 places to fourth position with 406 points, thanks to her victory at the CCI5*-L in Luhmühlen with Hooney d’Arville. World champion Yasmin Ingham rounds out the top five with 389 points.
British athletes have dominated the rankings in recent months, occupying eight positions within the top 10. However, their dominance has waned just weeks before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Currently, five British athletes remain in the top 10, with Wills Oakden (370 points) in seventh place.
Among the other top-ranked athletes, Boyd Martin holds sixth place, while New Zealand’s Jonelle and Tim Price occupy the eighth and ninth spots respectively. Maxime Livio (FRA) completes the top 10.
