* Nicolas Touzaint, a 2004 team gold medallist, had to withdraw just before the start of the competition because of an injury to his horse. His score was automatically set to 1000.00 for team purposes. When Jean Renaud Adde was later eliminated from the competition for falling off his horse on the cross-country course, the same happened to him, causing an astronomical team score for the cross-country ride.

Marks and ranks from vault qualification differ as two vaults are used to determine event finalists while only the first of those counts toward the all-around total. Thomas Bouhail qualified for the all-around final of the top 24 gymnasts because the number of finalists from the same nation is limited to two. Thus, three gymnasts ranked ahead of him were ineligible.
