Eight teams - Azerbaijan, Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan, Poland, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine - took part in the two-round competition, competing over a strong track designed by Frank Rothenberger.

Team Ukraine were clear in the first round and finished on a score of 12 penalties to earn a team ticket to London 2012, ending ahead of Turkey on 25 and Poland 33 in the final standings.

There was a jump-off for the individual spot available for the best placed rider of Olympic Qualification Group G, with Japan's Taizo Sugitani and Taiwan's Jasmin Chen tying on nine faults after the second round.

Going forward to a timed decider, both riders were clear against the clock, but the Olympic slot went to Japan when Sugitani completed the course in 53.97 seconds, almost two seconds faster than Chen's 55.61.

Ukrainian Katharina Offel, who rode stallion Vivant, was the best individual rider overall and, as a result, qualified to take part at CSIO Aachen last week.

Eight teams - Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, host nation Great Britain, and Ukraine - out of the 15 possible have qualified for the 2012 Olympic show jumping competition and a total of 15 teams will compete in London.

Egypt, Japan and Syria all have qualified individual riders.
