dcro 10,179 Posted February 26, 2017 Author #33 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Crazy WC in Gothenburg with von Eckermann taking a win at home. However, the most intriguing part was the battle for the final places at the WC final in Omaha! 18 riders that will represent Western Europe are... Kevin Staut - 78 Lorenzo de Luca - 67 Denis Lynch - 64 Henrik von Eckermann - 59 Ludger Beerbaum - 56 Steve Guerdat - 47 Guido Klatte - 47 Gregory Wathelet - 45 Leopold van Asten - 44 Simon Delestre - 44 Romain Duguet - 43 Carlos Lopez - 43 - extra athlete Holger Wulschner - 42 Marcus Ehning - 41 Max Kuhner - 41 Sergio Alverez Moya - 40 Nicola Philippaerts - 39 Olivier Robert - 39 Markus Brinkmann - 39 ---------------------------------------- (reserves) Maikel van der Vleuten - 38 Martin Fuchs - 38 Scott Brash - 35 Pieter Devos - 35 Carlos Lopez is competing for Colombia, which is obviously not in Western Europe. However, since he ranked within the top 18 he gets to go as an extra athlete. I'm not sure if Steve Guerdat is prequalified as the defending champion. If he is indeed prequalified then Maikel van der Vleuten will be invited too. Some really big names failed to qualify, including current World No. 1 Daniel Deusser. Another big German Christian Ahlmann is missing too. Scott Brash once again fails, for the third time in a row... On the other had, some very interesting names are in. Including Guido Klatte, Carlos Lopez, Markus Brinkmann and Olivier Robert. Who would think that Leopold van Asten will be the only Dutch in the final (for now). Holger Wulschner meanwhile qualified for his first WC final since 1997! Edited February 26, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it's similar to canoe slalom. If you knock a ball down you get five seconds penalty. Here is an example of a full competition run. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted February 27, 2017 Author #38 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) There is just one more qualifier left before the jumping Finals in Omaha. It will be held next month in Live Oak (North American qualifier). Here is an overview of the other (completed) leagues. ARAB LEAGUE - Al Thani, Alrajhi and Mohammed have earned a ticket for WC final AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE - Beresford and Raymont have earned their tickets. Raymont already confirmed that he won't be going though. Beresford is uncertain. CAUCASUS LEAGUE - Papiashivili qualified, participation uncertain CENTRAL ASIAN LEAGUE - Tuyakbaev qualified, participation uncertain CHINA LEAGUE - Bianba is apparently going to Omaha, Lam is uncertain JAPAN LEAGUE - Koike qualified, participation uncertain NEW ZEALAND LEAGUE - Laurie qualified but will not attend SOUTH AFRICA LEAGUE - Williams qualified, participation uncertain SOUTH AMERICAN NORTH LEAGUE - Vanonoste qualified, participation uncertain SOUTH AMERICAN SOUTH LEAGUE - Rodriguez Vanni and Fernandez Filho will be going to Omaha SOUTH EAST ASIAN LEAGUE - Limpichati qualified, participation uncertain However, Omaha website says that and have both "confirmed" their places. That would be so awesome if true. Edited February 27, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted March 2, 2017 Author #39 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Maria Florencia Manfredi has been invited to take part at the dressage WC final in Omaha in few weeks! @konig I love her reaction in this interview: “Amazing!” the 34-year-old rider exclaimed after she was told she had qualified for the final of the 32nd World Cup Final. “I can’t believe it. I need to go celebrate tonight." http://www.dressage-news.com/2017/03/01/maria-florencia-manfredi-becomes-first-argentine-to-win-dressage-world-cup-final-start/ She will be the first Argentine rider to compete in the history of dressage WC finals. She got invited as the highest ranked rider outside of Europe/North America/Pacific. It's sad that she apparently has zero support from Argentinian NOC & federation, according to this interview.

It's true, I just checked the list and it seems only Jumping athletes receive state support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
