Great Britain retained their Olympic team eventing title to win the nation's first gold medal at the Paris 2024 Games.
Collett, McEwan and Canter topped the standings heading into the jumping finale but had seen their lead drastically reduced in Sunday's cross-country, following a record-breaking dressage performance. Later on Monday, Great Britain's riders will compete for individual eventing medals after all three qualified to the final, which starts at 14:00 BST.
But Canter, with Lordships Graffalo, is 23rd overall after incurring 15 jumping penalties in the cross-country which dropped her from sixth to 24th.The controversial ruling against Canter on Sunday was upheld after British equestrian requested a review, allowing France to cut Great Britain's lead to 4.7 from 7.4.
Despite Canter's penalty misfortune, the 38-year-old - who last year became only the fifth rider to win three majors in a single season - kept GB on course for victory, receiving four penalty points in her outing in glorious conditions at a spectacular Olympic venue.
