Charlotte Dujardin, Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian and a three-time Olympic dressage champion, has withdrawn from the Paris 2024 Olympics. The decision follows the emergence of a video from four years ago showing her making an 'error of judgement' during a coaching session. Dujardin, a six-time dressage medallist, expressed deep shame and has apologized for the incident. She was one medal away from becoming Britain’s most successful female Olympian ever. The International Federation for Equestrian Sports is investigating the matter.
