Having trained with fellow team member Laura Kraut, Stacie and Frank Madden, she’s become one of the fastest rising stars in the sport. Her notable rise to the top has a slice of luck to it. The withdrawal of Beezie Madden made Springsteen the next favorite show jumper to fill the vacancy.

Despite that analysis, the 29-year-old Springsteen would be a fitting replacement to the 57-year-old Madden. The lack of experience will be a factor, but the gusto she brings to every performance will make her a star. Tokyo Olympics 2021 has received its next celebrity athlete, but will she escape with a medal?

Three former medalists to lead Springsteen in Tokyo

If the spotlight is on Jessica Springsteen for her name and fame, her teammates have the insurmountable task on delivering on their behalf too. Fortunately, the three remaining members of the team are some of the best in the sport.

Ranked world #5, Kent Farrington is more than just an experienced show jumper. Winning silver in the team jumping event at  2012 London Olympics, Farrington will look to add another medal to his collection. His teammate in 2012 and now 2021, McLain Ward is the most decorated member of this squad. With two gold and one silver, she will look to rise higher than her current #10 ranking.

Finally, the last member of the squad is Springsteen’s former trainer and gold medalist, Laura Kraut. Alongside McLain Ward, Kraut won gold at the team jumping event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With a team like this, the pressure on Springsteen’s shoulders lightens, but the chances of winning gold grow larger.
