Just before the start of the first qualifier in Paris, USA's federation has announced a pre-competition change as Kent Farrington and Greya will be replaced by Karl Cook.
Karl Cook will compete in Paris aboard his trusted Caracole de la Roque (Zandor Z). "There is a small question mark with Greya, which is allergy related, and erring on the side of extreme caution and with the no drop score in the format, we have made the decision to bring in Karl Cook and Caracole de la Roque," said Chef d'Equipe Robert Ridland.
