PARIS 2024 EVENTS: Equestrian - Eventing Team: Individual Eventing
Jonelle Price made her Olympic debut at London 2012, where the team won a bronze. She has also ridden for New Zealand at Olympic Games at Rio 2016, where the team was fourth, Tokyo 2020, where the team was fifth, and Paris 2024 where the team was eighth.
She picked up the moniker the world's fastest woman after her efforts over a particularly gruelling cross country course at the World Champs in France in 2014, where she placed fourth individually. She also rode for New Zealand at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon (2018) and Italy (2022) where the team won bronze.
Price is brave, fast and fiercely competitive and as direct in her personality as she is with her riding. She has won CCI5* events at Badminton (2018) and Luhmuhlen (2018) and Pau (2022) and is regularly on the podium across the grades.
She grew up in Motueka and is now based in the UK with her husband Tim and two children.
