Jessica Springsteen in Olympics

Jessica Springsteen, daughter of Bruce Springsteen, who won silver in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, has been excluded from Team USA's equestrian team for the 2024 Paris Olympics due to a significant drop in her world ranking from 14th to 127th. Despite her initial inclusion on the shortlist, veteran riders Kent Farrington, Laura Kraut, and McLain Ward, with Karl Cook as an alternate, were chosen instead. Springsteen expressed a desire to share the Olympic experience with her family, including her famous father, who adjusted his tour schedule to attend. This decision marks a significant setback for Springsteen, who remains optimistic about her future in the sport due to her young age and early success.
