      Poland's Dressage Team Reaches Paris 2024

      Totallympics

      The Dressage team from Poland has qualified to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, after finishing first of three teams vying for one slot at the FEI Designated Qualifying Event at Pilisjászfalu on Thursday.
       
      The Grand Prix test, part of the FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ held at the venue near Budapest, determined the qualification, with Poland, Hungary, and Israel all hoping to take the single team berth on offer for Group C.
       
      Poland ended the day on a total of 204.892 points, just ahead of Hungary, who finished on 202.152 for the home crowd. Israel finished third of the three on 192.522 points. It's been a good few weeks for Polish equestrian, with their Eventing team reaching Paris 2024 in the Baborówko qualifier last month.
       
      Fifteen athletes and their equine partners lined up at the start to perform the Grand Prix test for a panel of international judges. With every combo executing the same movements — unlike with the Grand Prix Freestyle — the smallest details had to be right. In addition to technical proficiency, the judges were looking for suppleness, proper framing, smooth transitions, and superior communication with the horse.
       

       
      A Ticket to Paris
       
      Żaneta Skowrońska-Kozubi of Poland and Romantic P were looking strong at the top of the leaderboard near the end of the competition, with one pair left to go. Whilst Lisa Müller of Germany and Gut Wettlkam’s D’avie FRH did ultimately beat them individually with a score of 72.543 percent compared to 69.696 percent, Skowrońska-Kozubi’s marks put Poland ahead of Hungary on the quest to punch a ticket to Paris next year.
       
      With three other Polish athletes in the top 10, Team Hungary were just a step behind and had to settle for second place. Mateusz Cichon and Herzregent 2 finished sixth (67.913 percent), Magdalena Jura and Ron took eighth place (67.283 percent), and Marta Sobierajska and Ultrablue De Massa ended in 10th (65.565 percent).
       
      Benedek Pachi and Donna Friderika were Hungary’s highest performing duo, earning 68.804 percent and fourth place for their Grand Prix test. Anikó Komjáthy-Losonczy took seventh place aboard Dior S (67.696 percent), and Jazmin Yom Tov — the youngest athlete in the event at 21 years old — finished in ninth place with Konfucius.
       
      Rounding out the top 10 were Franziska Stieglmaier of Germany with Samurai 504, who took the Individual bronze medal on 69.522 percent, and her compatriot Rudolf Widmann, who finished fifth aboard Ferrari OLD on 67.978 percent.
       
      Germany’s first, third, and fifth put them in the lead in FEI Dressage Nations Cup™ competition, which continues on Sunday with the Grand Prix Freestyle.

      Equestrian FEI Eventing Group F & G Olympic Games Qualifier 2023: Australia, China Qualify for Paris 2024

      Totallympics

      Eventing teams from Australia and China will be going to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, after qualifying this weekend at the FEI Designated Olympic Qualification Event for Groups F & G (Africa, Middle East, South East Asia, and Oceania) at Millstreet, in Ireland.
       
      Five teams presented at the start for a chance to punch a ticket to France, but only two berths were on offer for those who placed highly enough. 
       
      It was not the opportunity Team Japan had hoped for, finishing third in the field on 125.7 total points to 100.8 for Australia and 122.1 for China. New Zealand ended their campaign in fourth place (147.4 points), whilst South Africa finished fifth (229.9 points).
       
      With the dressage and cross country segments complete, Australia were in the lead on 85.1 points prior to the final jumping phase on Sunday. Shenae Lowings’ first-place position with Bold Venture gave the Aussies a huge boost, along with Andrew Hoy’s individual bronze medal slot aboard his most recent Olympic mount Vassily de Lassos. 
       
      Team China had moved from fourth to second after the cross country, but quite a ways behind on 113.7 points. Top 10 performances by Alex Hua Tian (Chicko) and Huadong Sun (Lady Chin van't Moerven Z), though, had the Chinese athletes looking good individually. 
       
      In third place, down from second after dressage, Team Japan had Kazuma Tomoto with Brookpark Vikenti in second and Ryuzo Kitajima and Feroza Nieuwmoed in fourth individually for 120.6 total points. New Zealand and South Africa were in fourth and fifth, respectively, hoping to claw back their standings on the arena jumping day. 
       
      It wasn’t to be, though, for the trailing teams, even with a withdrawal from Australia’s Hoy before the jumping began. 
       
      In spite of Individual second- and third-place finishes from Tomoto and Kitajima — Tomoto ending the day on just his dressage score of 28.6 — Japan couldn’t top the results from China and Australia. 
       
      Teammates Yoshiaki Oiwa (No Fear JRA) and Toshiyuki Tanaka (Talma d’Allou) finished in 13th and 14th place, with three members of the Chinese team scoring above them: Hua Tian, Sun, and Yingfeng Bao (Flandia 2). 
       
      Meanwhile, Team Australia had a strong showing on the arena obstacles that cemented their Paris qualification and earned an Individual first place for Lowings. Shane Rose and Dotti finished seventh overall, adding only 4 points for one fence down. Kevin McNab ended in fifth with Scuderia 1918 A Best Friend, also snagging 4 in penalties. 
       
      Shenae Lowings held onto her first-place spot earned at the start, finishing on her dressage score of 24.9 points for a double victory that no doubt sent her home smiling. 
       
      It’s getting down to the sharp end of the stick to qualify for Paris. International teams will have only three more chances to earn a spot at the Château de Versailles next year. 
       
      The first will be the FEI Eventing European Championship at Pin au Haras, France, in August. October’s 2023 Pan American Games at Santiago, Chile will be another. And the final FEI Nations Cup show at Boekelo in the Netherlands will end opportunities to qualify, other than through a few remaining Individual slots.

      UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup Final: Micheli (ITA) and Shaban (EGY) secure Olympic qualification

      Totallympics

      Paris 2024 quota places secured by champion athletes from Italy and Egypt Ozyuksel (TUR) and Oteiza (FRA) claim medals in thrilling Women’s Final Late slip denies Choong (GBR) glory as Hernandez (MEX) takes Men’s Final bronze  
      Elena Micheli of Italy and Mohanad Shaban of Egypt have secured the first two direct qualification quota places for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after winning individual gold at the UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup Final.
       
      Micheli (ITA) won a thrilling Women’s Final after holding off the challenge of local favourite Ilke Ozyuksel of Türkiye, who delighted the home crowd with silver, and bronze medallist Marie Oteiza of France, with Alice Sotero (ITA), Gintare Venckauskaite of Lithuania and Kerenza Bryson of Great Britain completing the top six.
       
      The Men’s Final almost had to be abandoned due to heavy rain, but it finally took place after a three-hour rain delay. And slippery conditions were a major factor in a heart-stopping Laser Run climax.
       
      Shaban (EGY) ended up on his back at the first corner, but it was a slip from Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Joseph Choong of Great Britain in the final metres that determined the winner as Shaban (EGY) prevailed in one of the most dramatic sprint finishes Modern Pentathlon has seen.
       
      Emiliano Hernandez of Mexico held off pressure from Csaba Bohm of Hungary to secure bronze, while Woojin Park of Korea and Marek Grycz of Czech Republic completed the top six.
       

      Medallists’ reaction
      Women’s champion Micheli (ITA) said: “I can’t actually believe it, because I stayed at home for one week because of a little injury, and I came here thinking ‘OK, let’s try it for some experience, to add it to my baggage’, and now I did it!
       
      “Everything was happening, I was trying a new gun and also my dog threw me on the ground three days ago. So I came here to try, and then I noticed I was gaining points and moving up many positions, and I thought ‘maybe I can do it today, I just need to believe in myself’.
       
      “It’s funny because something always seems to happen before the competition. I don’t know if I have to expect my life to go this way every time, but if the conclusion is like this today, OK, I can live with it.
       
      “I really have to thank all the staff, the ones that follow me every day. Thanks to Gigi, thanks to my parents, to my brothers, to Pierpaolo who stays at my side, to my friends. Thanks to all at the Carabinieri Sports Centre because it would be impossible to do this without you.”
       
      Silver medallist Ozyuksel (TUR) added: “I fell down at the beginning of the Laser Run, same as I did one month ago in the same place, so during the competition I felt so much pain.
       
      “I’m happy. I wanted to take the first place for Olympic qualification, but with 2nd place I am happy too. We will look for qualification in the future at the European Games and World Championships.
       
      “We will see – our preparation is going very well and I can focus so much better than I could last year. I can control myself more, so I am happy. Looking in future for the gold medal.
       
      “It’s unbelievable [to win a medal in a home event], and actually I was thinking about the 1st place and I got so stressed in the final shoot because I was too excited, I couldn’t control myself. But 2nd place is good too.”
       
      Bronze medallist Oteiza (FRA) said: “It’s a long process to be back at this level, and I am happy because my technical disciplines are better and better, and now it’s just Swimming and Running that are coming back slowly.
       
      “I’m really happy with this competition, which has the Olympic format – 3rd place is really nice. Shooting was OK but there were really good shooters and runners with me, and it was a battle – the last 600m was a real battle.
       
      “Elena was better than me today, also Ilke, but I’m really satisfied with this race. I hope my family watched and my boyfriend, and I am really proud to show them that slowly, but surely, I am coming back.”
       

       
      Men’s champion Shaban (EGY) said: “In my first World Cup of the season, in Egypt, I took the 4th place; then I got the gold here in Ankara and then the silver in Budapest. Then I came back here for the World Cup Final and I took the gold from the Olympic champion and the best finisher I think in Pentathlon – I’m so happy.
       
      “I hope to do it again in Paris 2024, and nothing is impossible. Maybe I could.”
       
      Silver medallist Choong (GBR) added: “It was a great finish. We came down the slight slope and people had their phone lights on trying to light the floor – but it doesn’t do anything, occasionally you hit a muddy bit and you slip.
      “There was a bit of jostling, as there always is, but I hit the last corner and then hit a puddle and tilted forwards. From then I’m sliding, splashing around, a bit like ice skating, to be honest.
       
      “But all credit to Mohanad, he’s got a good finish and I think it’s the first time someone has outsprinted me. Fair play – I’m not particularly happy about it but I’ll have it next time.
       
      “I choose to see it as a positive. In the last cycle I got that first Olympic qualification spot, and then it was a bit of a weird feeling at the Europeans because that’s the best chance to get the Olympic qualification, and it’s coming up in a few weeks.
      “For me not to have it now is almost a good thing because it keeps me hungry and excited for the next competition.
      “Becoming European champion would complete my collection, and I don’t know how many pentathletes have ever got the whole package, so that’s a big goal for me. Also the other guys like Shaban and Jun and other great athletes won’t be there, so hopefully I’m in with a good shout.”
       
      Bronze medallist Hernandez (MEX) said: “I’m amazed. We did so much hard work this season, and I have a special coach who told me ‘it’s time to put the game in play, nothing to lose, everything to win’.
      “I am amazed because that coach changed my mentality in this competition, and I am super happy. I hope everyone at home is happy and enjoying that Mexico is on the podium.
       
      “My goal was to qualify for Paris 2024, but they say when you aim to the stars, maybe you will arrive to the moon. And right now it’s the moon – I just finished 3rd in a World Cup Final and it’s amazing.
      “There are several months of hard work ahead, but I know that with my team I can have an amazing Pan American Games.”
       

       
      Women’s Final
      Riding
      The nerves of competing on this elevated stage were apparent as athletes undertook a challenging Riding course, but Ozyuksel (TUR) did her best to calm the tension with a 293.
       
      The big mover was Olivia Green (GBR), whose flawless round took her from 16th all the way up to 5th overall. Lithuania trio Venckauskaite (286), Laura Asadauskaite (279) and Ieva Serapinaite (286) stayed in contention and then the world champion announced her claim.
       
      Micheli (ITA) rode serenely to register an immaculate score of 300 that moved her into the top three, and she was only denied further progress by a 300 from Karolina Krenkova (CZE) and a 299 from ice queen Oteiza (FRA), who moved 14 points clear overall.
      It was a tough round for Rebecca Langrehr of Germany and Elodie Clouvel (FRA), each of whom incurred 28 penalties, while Mariana Arceo (MEX) and Seungmin Seong (KOR) reached the end of the road with elimination.
       

      Fencing
      Having moved into the top 10 overall, the star of the Bonus Round was Ozyuksel (TUR) as she scored four victories for another eight points boosting her podium prospects.
       
      Asadauskaite (LTU), Micheli (ITA) and Krenkova (CZE) also moved four points closer to their goal, but Oteiza (FRA) had the final word with a victory over Clouvel (FRA) that maintained her 14-point cushion.
       
      Oteiza (FRA) had achieved the highest score of 24V/11D in the Fencing Ranking Round, with defending champion Clouvel (FRA) only one victory worse off.
       
      Three athletes qualified for the Final after scoring a competitive 21V/13D – Langrehr (GER), Krenkova (CZE) and Seong (KOR).
       
      Swimming
      The swim was destined to be a showdown between the women who won the two biggest annual prizes in Modern Pentathlon last year.
       
      And it was the 2022 world champion Micheli (ITA) who touched first in the final heat in 2min 14.77sec, beating the defending Pentathlon World Cup Final champion Clouvel (FRA) by 0.63sec. The overall lead of Oteiza (FRA) was cut to 12 points as Micheli (ITA) strengthened her position and Clouvel (FRA) gained six points on her team-mate.
      The fastest swim of the day came in the second heat, won by a huge margin by Sotero (ITA) as she moved from 11th to 5th overall with a terrific 2:10.94.
       

       
      Laser Run
      Immediately Oteiza (FRA) looked vulnerable in pole position, as her lead was eroded in the first run and then she suffered a 26sec shoot, allowing Micheli (ITA) and Krenkova (CZE) to take advantage. In fact it was Krenkova (CZE) who caught the eye most in the first half of the race and took the lead briefly after a second rapid shoot.
      Behind the top three, Sotero (ITA), Ozyuksel (TUR) and Asadauskaite (LTU) were all advancing well, but Micheli (ITA) had the race-management experience and stamina to know that if she could control her shooting, she could win the race, and so it proved when a clamour of athletes arrived at the range for the final time and it was the world champion’s clinical 10sec shoot that proved decisive.
       
      Micheli (ITA) ran powerfully and held on to win by 3sec, leaving all the drama behind her. Having cut her knee so early in the race, the tenacious Ozyuksel (TUR) seemed to have enough momentum to achieve an unforgettable home win, but her final shoot let her down, like it had for Asadauskaite (LTU) on the third circuit.
      Their struggles enabled Sotero (ITA) to leave the fourth shoot looking good for an Italian one-two, but she was caught by Oteiza (FRA) and then by the marauding Ozyuksel (TUR).
       
      They were joined on the podium by Venckauskaite (LTU), whose Laser Run time of 11:26.30 was easily the best of the day, and Pentathlon World Cup Sofia champion Bryson (GBR, 11.47.10), who was quicker than everyone else except Ozyuksel (TUR, 11.41.90).
       
      Men’s Final
      Riding
      After a long wait for the rain to cease and the venue to become playable, another tense Riding round brought out the best of horsemanship in numerous athletes.
      Clean rounds enabled Grycz (CZE), Hernandez (MEX) and Park (KOR) to move up the overall standings, with Hernandez (MEX) vaulting from 10th all the way up to 2nd.
       
      Choong (GBR) and leader Shaban (EGY) each stayed in contention with a 286, while Matteo Cicinelli (ITA) and Bohm (HUN) remained prominent with only one knockdown in their rounds.
       
      The field of 18 contenders was reduced to 15 with elimination for Marvin Dogue (GER), Pavlo Tymoshchenko of Ukraine and, to the relief of the other medal favourites, defending champion and world No.1 Woongtae Jun (KOR).
       

       
      Fencing
      The Fencing Bonus Round is not the most heavily-weighted part of the sport but sometimes in the final analysis, victory in a single bout can appear to be a decisive factor. So it proved when Shaban (EGY) took his opportunity to add four points to his tally and, in doing so, deny Choong (GBR) two points to the six he had already gained from three wins.
       
      The other stars of the Bonus Round were Changwan Seo (KOR) with four wins and Grycz (CZE) with three.
       
      The Ranking Round had been dominated by Shaban (EGY), continuing his irrepressible form of 2023. With an impressive 25V/10D, he managed one more victory than Jun (KOR) and Linbin Zhang of China. Choong (GBR) was joined by Manuel Padilla (MEX) and Park (KOR) on a solid 22 victories.
       
      Swimming
      Predictably, world No.2 and reigning world champion Choong (GBR) boosted his victory bid in the pool, but only gained three points on Shaban (EGY) while Cicinelli (ITA) posted what was narrowly the best time of the day, 2:03.55.
      Choong (GBR) also ducked under 2:04 in the Pentathlon Arena 25m pool for 303 points, while Bohm (HUN) added 301 and Shaban (EGY) 300 to their overall tally.
       

       
      Laser Run
      There had to be an element of improvisation in the way the venue was rearranged to enable the Men’s Final to take place, and there were areas of the running course that the floodlights could not reach. Shaban (EGY) found this to his cost when he ran into the opening corner and lost his footing completely in a puddle.
       
      It was remarkable how well the 22-year-old Egyptian recovered from that mishap to protect his 10sec starting lead. Once again he shot with masterful consistency (12sec/12sec/8sec), only giving Choong (GBR) a chance at the last visit to the range when he took 17sec to fire his shots.
       
      Choong (GBR) seemed to have seized his chance as he muscled past his rival before entering the darkened wooded section of the cross-country course, where overtaking was unlikely. But Shaban (EGY) gritted his teeth and stayed right on the elbow of the more celebrated athlete, setting up a frantic sprint to the line that evoked memories of the epic duel between James Cooke (GBR) and Valentin Prades (FRA) at the UIPM 2018 Pentathlon World Championships in Mexico City (MEX).
       
      Speaking of Mexico, winning bronze was a monumental achievement for Hernandez (MEX), younger brother of Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medallist Ismael Hernandez (MEX). Especially as he held off the challenge of one of the hottest athletes of this Olympic cycle, Bohm (HUN).
       
      Conditions being as bad as they were, those who mastered the conditions best could be truly proud of their efforts, as Balazs Szep (HUN) managed the day’s best time of 10:30.57, with Seo (KOR, 10:31.99) next-fastest ahead of Choong (GBR, 10:36.60).
       
      President’s reaction
      UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said: “The Women’s Final this morning included a lucky situation with the weather conditions that enabled us to see an excellent competition in this fantastic facility with five disciplines in a Pentathlon Arena.
       
      “The athletes performed so well, knowing that only the winning place would be a seat at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, and we saw a great final with the Laser Run which is always the most exciting part of our multi-sport Modern Pentathlon.
       
      “I also want to underline that the volunteers and referees and everyone who is vital to a successful competition created a great foundation for our sport. The athletes were fantastic and let’s see now what they can achieve in the continental championships and the UIPM Pentathlon World Championships in Bath coming up soon.
       
      “It was also super to see the host nation celebrating their silver medal won by Ilke Ozyuksel.
       
      “In the men’s competition there was a really big challenge for all of us – for the organisers, for the Union and for the athletes and coaches – when we saw this unbelievable rainfall that almost stopped the event.
       
      “After a long discussion with the coaches – and it was very important to listen to the athletes – we finally decided following the athletes’ wishes that we could replicate all that was needed to keep the competition at the same facility.
      “But the Men’s Final was so exciting, and everybody thought the Olympic champion would win but the Egyptian athlete has a big heart, and to fight him down in the final metres was so exciting.
       
      “I congratulate all athletes who were on the podium, all who reached today’s Finals and also all athletes who qualified for this competition. Thanks to the Turkish Federation and National Olympic Committee and all involved in this fantastic first Olympic qualification competition in Ankara.”

      UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup Final: All you need to know

      Totallympics

      Serapinaite (LTU) and Shaban (EGY) are top qualifiers for Ankara (TUR) Glittering array of past champions in the chase for Olympic places Who will be the first two pentathletes to qualify for Paris 2024?  
      There is a moment in every Olympic cycle when the reality of qualification is no longer somewhere on the horizon. It’s here.
      Four days from now in Ankara (TUR), two athletes will have earned their countries a direct qualification quota place for Modern Pentathlon at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
       
      Success at the UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup Final is the first of numerous opportunities to stake a claim to be on the start line in Versailles, but competition is fierce with only one female and one male athlete earning the accolade.
      And there are dozens of athletes among the 72 qualifiers who are capable of winning if they can achieve peak performance on the day.
       
      Ones to watch – Women
       

       
      Two female athletes achieved the highest level of consistency during the regular season, enabling them to top the UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup qualification rankings.
       
      Thanks to her gold medal here in Ankara (TUR) and bronze in Sofia (BUL), Ieva Serapinaite of Lithuania scored 136 qualification points – one more than Salma Abdelmaksoud of Egypt, who won bronze in Cairo (EGY) and Budapest (HUN) and reached the Final in Ankara (TUR).
       
      As the season wore on, Serapinaite (LTU) and the rest of the field sensed the growing threat of her team-mates, Laser Run specialists Gintare Venckauskaite (LTU) and Laura Asadauskaite (LTU) – who secured Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualification by winning this event in 2019 in Tokyo (JPN).
       
      They are likely to be part of the storyline this week, along with 2022 world champion Elena Micheli of Italy, although her form – 4th in Cairo (EGY) and 17th in Budapest (HUN) – is perhaps not yet where she would like it to be.
       
      Speaking of form, Blanka Guzi of Hungary could be a contender after her world-record winning performance on home soil in Budapest (HUN), which she followed with a 7th in Sofia (BUL). And Kerenza Bryson of Great Britain comes into the Final on the back of a double gold in Sofia (BUL), making her a real contender alongside world No.4 Jessica Varley (GBR), last year’s silver medallist.
       
      The defending champion this week is Elodie Clouvel of France, who started the season with silver in Cairo (EGY) and followed up with 6th in Ankara (TUR). Like two-time World Cup winner Marie Oteiza (FRA), if the world No.2 can steady her nerves in the shooting range she could be hard to beat.
       
      Local favourite Ilke Ozyuksel of Türkiye is another top-10 athlete lurking in the field, along with Olivia Green (GBR), while 20-year-old Seungmin Seong of Korea leads the charge of the next generation – and Asia – after her silver medal in Sofia (BUL) capped a strong season.
       
      From the Western Hemisphere, Mariana Arceo of Mexico reached the top eight in the qualification rankings and, besides the individual event, will be a big contender for gold in the Mixed Relay if selected.
       
      Visit the UIPM website to see the full UIPM 2023 Pentathlon World Cup rankings for women.
       
      Ones to watch – Men
       

       
      Few athletes are able to overcome the handicap of a poor Fencing performance in Modern Pentathlon, but for those who excel on the piste, the challenge is more about learning to defend a lead.
       
      Accomplished fencer Mohanad Shaban (EGY) showed admirable improvement in this regard during the regular season. Having been caught in Laser Run to finish 4th in the season-opener in Cairo (EGY), he responded with remarkable maturity to win gold in Ankara (TUR) and silver in Budapest (HUN), giving him a colossal 163 qualification points.
       
      By contrast, an athlete who tends to operate by stealth is 2nd-ranked Martin Vlach of Czech Republic, the Laser Run world record-holder who took bronze in Cairo (EGY) and Budapest (HUN) either side of a 5th place in Ankara (TUR).
       
      With 148 points, Vlach (CZE) arrives here just ahead of Valentin Prades (FRA), gold medallist in Sofia (BUL) and an athlete with supreme pedigree having won the UIPM Pentathlon World Cup Final three times – in 2013, 2017 and 2021.
       
      Speaking of pedigree, it’s hard not to view the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and 2022 world champion Joseph Choong (GBR) as the men’s gold-medal favourite this week. Even though his last visit to Ankara (TUR) did not yield a vintage performance, a 4th place in Sofia (BUL) suggested ominous momentum.
       
      There are a few athletes so consistent in their application of the five disciplines that when all goes well, they are simply unbeatable. Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist, defending World Cup Final champion, world No.1 and world record-holder Woongtae Jun (KOR) certainly belongs in that category, as demonstrated by his awesome gold in Budapest (HUN).
       
      So who else has what it takes to scale the men’s podium on Super Saturday? There is a long list of contenders including Valentin Belaud (FRA), team-mates Csaba Bohm and Balazs Szep (HUN) and the veteran Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist, Pavlo Tymoshchenko of Ukraine and Sofia (BUL) silver medallist Taishu Sato of Japan.

      Poland with an Olympic team quota in Eventing

      Vojthas

      The CCIO4*-L contest at Equestrian Festival Baborówko has decided the Olympic quota for the team in group C. It was won by the host team of Poland - the only one to complete the eventing with all the riders.
       
      Already on Thursday it was clear that Czech team will not participate in this battle as Miloslav Přihoda Jr's horse Ferreolus Lat didn't pass the veterinarian inspection. It brought the battle down to two teams - Poland and Hungary. Dressage test gave 9,7 point of advantage to the hosts, but it was the cross country to become crucial.
       
      With Noémi Viola Doerfer falling of her horse and Balázs Kaizinger retiring and all the Polish pairs reaching the finish line with no obstacle penalties it was enough for Poland to complete the competition to get the tickets to Paris. The CCIO4*-L contest was however a great chance to get the MER score - and all the Polish athletes reached the final TOP5 with Jan Kamiński winning, Mateusz Kiempa (starting individually only), Małgorzata Korycka, Paweł Warszawski and Wiktoria Knap behind him.
       
      Now it's up to the national team's coach, Olympic champion Andreas Dibowski, to pick the three pairs and an alternate one for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. According to the plan, he wants to raise the level in Poland to have seven or eight pairs to pick from late spring next year.

      And then there were two - Eventing Group C Qualifier preview

      Vojthas

      Thursday was te first competition day of Equestrian Festival Baborówko, which CCIO4*-L contest is the Paris 2024 Qualification event for Group C. The veterinarian inspection for the participating was held and that brought the battle to just two nations.
       
      Only four countries entered their athletes to the CCIO4*-L - Bulgaria with just one Petar Marchev and Gaskon, Czech Republic and Hungary with three pairs and the event host, Poland, with six pairs. During the horse inspection Miloslav Přihoda Jr and Ferreorus Lat were eliminated, which caused Czech team to be incomplete and thus unable to battle for the Olympic quota.
       
       
      This means only two countries will have the opportunity to fight for the Paris 2024 - Hungary and Poland. With Poland having six pairs in the CCIO4*-L, the national team coach, Andreas Dibowski, decided the team will feature Małgorzata Korycka and Canvalencia, Jan Kamiński and Jard, Paweł Warszawski and Lucinda Ex Ani 4 and Wiktoria Knap and Quintus 134. The Hungarian team will have Balázs Kaizinger and Clover 15, Noémi Viola Doerfer and Crystal Barney and Imre Tóth and Zypresse 8.
       
      The dressage test will be held on Friday, the cross on Saturday while the final show jumping test will decide the quota on Sunday. Poland seems to be favorite again - they've won the quota for Tokyo 2020 Olympics four years ago, also in Baborówko.

      Moroccan duo wins two slots at the 2024 Olympic breakdancing competition

      Totallympics

      They’ve conquered Africa, next stop the Olympics.
       
      Morocco won gold in both the women and men’s categories of the inaugural African breakdancing championships in Rabat on Saturday, securing the country two spots at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
       
      The men’s final pitted fellow Moroccans, B-Boys Billy and Tawfiq against each other, with Bilal Mallakhaka going on to win.
      "Today I won the African breakdance championship which leads me to represent Africa at the Olympic Games in Paris. I will work hard for a better representation of Africa," said B-Boy Billy.
       
      In the women’s section, Fatima Zahra El Mamouny, known as B-Girl Elmamouny, got the better of South African Midian Leah to win the title.
       
      "This is an historical moment, a huge milestone for the WDSF Breaking, the first continental championship in Africa,” said World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF) Secretary General, Sergei Nifontov.
       
      “This year, because it is a pre-Olympic year and due to our system of qualification, two quarter places will be given to Paris through this qualification," he said.
       
      Breakdance is one of the four new disciplines to be included in the Olympic Games in 2024, along with climbing, surfing, and skateboarding.
       
      Also known as "breaking", this style of urban dance developed in New York in the 1970s and is now practised globally.

      France win back-to-back titles in Cardiff; Great Britain and Denmark qualify for Paris 2024

      Totallympics

      France are the 2023 European champions! The defending champions made it back-to-back titles with a 49-55 win over host nation Great Britain at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
       
      A nervy start to the game saw high pressure defence from Great Britain force France into two timeouts in the first two plays. Finding a way through, the team in blue had their noses in front at the first quarter break with the scores at 13-14. Early into the second period, a fumbled pass from GB was sized upon by France who were able to convert the turnover and extend their lead to two points. Another significant moment came in the second quarter when GB forced two turnovers to take the advantage in the match. With the scores at 39-39 another wayward GB pass gave France the opportunity to go ahead, which they duly took. A huge hit on GB’s Aaron Phipps forced the crowd favourite to be penalised for an infringement and France turned the game on its head in the final seconds of the third quarter.
       
      From then on they dominated, not letting Great Britain back into the match and extending their lead to an unassailable six tries.
       
      In the bronze medal match Denmark beat Germany 50-53 in a thrilling clash to secure a place on the European championship podium and a ticket to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

      In an end-to-end encounter, the scores were level until late into the first quarter when a Leon Jorgensen interception was capitalised on by Denmark who went into the first period 11-13 up. Germany gathered momentum in the second quarter, bringing the scores level. Tries were exchanged until 46-46 when Denmark forced two consecutive turnovers to regain the lead with four minutes to go. Denmark held onto their advantage until the final whistle when they celebrated their bronze medal and qualification for Paris 2024.
       
      Earlier in the day, Switzerland defeated the 42-46 to claim 5th place at the tournament.

      Doha welcomes the World of Judo for 2023 Championships

      owenp_23

      On May 7th the excitement begins. After four months of thrilling judo on the IJF Grand Slam and Grand Prix tours, the world's best judokas converge in Qatar for a week of World Championship action. 667 athletes representing 99 nations from all five IJF continental regions will take part in the event staged at the Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiya (ABHA) Arena.
       
      France will look to flex their muscles on day one with the possibility of bringing home multiple medals in the lightest weight classes. Blandine Pont is in the mix for Women's -48kg gold and both Luke Mkheidze and Cedric Revol are contenders for podium places in Men's -60kg.
       
      Japan, as always, will be a force at the championships. Although they have not been as prominent along the World Tour so far, Japan still brings a star-studded roster to Qatar that includes Natsumi Tsunoda (W48), Uta Abe (W52), Haruka Funakubo (W57), Megumi Horikawa (W63), Saki Niizoe (W70), Shori Hamada (W78), Naohisa Takato (M60), Hifumi Abe (M66), and Sanshiro Murao (M90).
       
      Another team to keep an eye on is Canada. Christa Deguchi and Jessica Klimkait will once again battle in the Women's -57kg category while Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard will contest a very competitive -63kg field. On the men's side, names like Francois Gauthier Drapeau, Kyle Reyes, and Shady Elnahas could make a splash.
       
      Kazakhstan, Korea, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan have all had good results in the 2023 season and look to pick up some positive results over the week in Doha.
       
      European nations with large contingencies include Azerbaijan, Georgia, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
       
      Then there is the return of the Russian and Belarusian athletes. The 19 judokas entered under the title "Individual Neutral Athletes" span 11 weight categories. Neither Russia nor Belarus have won medals at a World Tour event in 2023.
       
      The fun begins on Monday and will continue all through the week. Are you ready for JuDoha?

      Mountain biking hosts first Paris 2024 qualifier, as competition gets underway in Congonhas, Brazil

      Josh

      From April 26-30, Congonhas, Brazil is hosting the 2023 COPACI Mountain Biking Championships, an Olympic qualifier. One quota will be available to each of the men’s/women’s elite race winners. Should they qualify through other pathways, their quota would be reallocated. Also awarded, are important ranking points that count towards Paris 2024 qualification. 
       
      Now, for the men’s/women’s elite previews. In the men’s elite race, fourth ranked Martín Vidaurre (CHI) will be the favourite for the quota, however he won’t have it all his own way, as tenth ranked Henrique Da Silva Avancini (BRA), and twentieth ranked Jose Gerardo (MEX) are capable of defeating him. Notably, nineteenth ranked Carter Woods (CAN) is absent from the men’s elite field, instead choosing to compete in the men’s U23 race. In the women’s elite race, seventh ranked Kate Courtney (USA) will be the favourite for the title, but twenty second ranked Raiza Goulao Henrique (BRA), and thirty sixth ranked Emily Batty (CAN) could perhaps stage an upset.
       
      The opening ceremony of the 2023 COPACI Mountain Biking your Championships took place on April 26, with the first event (mixed team relay) happening a few hours prior. April 27, the men’s/women’s elite XCE races took place, along with the infantojuvenil (12-14) and juvenil (15-16) men’s/women’s XCO races. Women’s masters race, and the men’s/women’s elite XCC races are on April 28, while the junior (17-18) men’s/women’s XCO races, and the men’s masters races take place on April 29. On April 30, the main events occur, with the men’s/women’s U23, and the  men’s/women’s elite races.

      Pan Am Cycling quotas awarded at COPACI Championships

      owenp_23

      A week of cycling competition concluded in Panama with four Olympic quotas awarded to three nations. The quotas will be in the possession of Argentina, Canada, and the United States for the time being as the Olympic invites earned at Continental Championships are third in order of hierarchy. Quotas earned through the UCI World Ranking and World Championships take precedence.
       
      On Saturday morning, Skylar Schneider of the United States led the pack across the finish line in the Women's Elite race and Olympic qualifier. 35-year-old Canadian Alison Jackson finished in the second qualifying position, beating out a group of 25 riders that sprinted across the line in a time of 2:48:08.
       
      Schneider and Jackson secured a spot in the Olympic Cycling Road Race for their respective nations, but as things sit right now, there is a strong possibility that Team USA and Canada are able to enter athletes via a different qualifying pathway. If this scenario were to play out, the Panamerican quotas would be reallocated.
       
      The Canadian flag flew a little higher on Sunday, as Gaspe, Quebec native, Pier-Andre Cote, came away with the Pan Am championship. Cote and compatriot Charles-Etienne Chretien (third place) were part of a pack of five pedaling towards the line. Squeaking in between the Canadian cyclists was German Tivani of Argentina, earning the South American nation their first quota place for the Summer Games Paris 2024.
       
      As mentioned earlier, the possibility of quota reallocation looms in the Men's Road Race as well. Top five finishes for Uruguay's Antonio Fagundez and Ecuador's Bayron Guama could carry importance later on in the qualifying calendar.

      Two Paralympic quotas up for grabs as Cardiff hosts first Wheelchair Rugby qualifier

      Josh

      From May 3-7 2023, eight of Europe’s top wheelchair rugby nations (Great Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Israel, Netherlands, Switzerland) will collide at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Up for grabs is not only the European title, but qualification to the Paris 2024 Paralympics for the finalists. 

      Reigning Paralympic Champions Great Britain are the odds on favourite for the title, but you can never count out Reigning European Champions France, and 2022 World Championships fourth place finisher Denmark. 
       
      Host-nation France has already secured a Paralympic quota, which leaves seven nations left fighting for two spots. Barring disaster, Great Britain should secure one of those spots. Denmark is also likely to secure a spot, although I wouldn’t count out Germany.  
       
      There’ll be a few key names to keep an eye out for as competition gets underway. French captain Jonathan Hivernat (3.0) is an absolute cardio machine. Don’t be surprised to see him play every minute in some of the more crucial matches. Eric Peters (3.5) was a big reason why Denmark qualified for the previous Paralympics in wheelchair rugby for the first time. His speed up and down the court and his strength to maintain possession or win the ball back for the team through brute force is a major advantage for the Danes. Great Britain’s Johnny Coggan, is arguably one of the greatest 0.5 players of all time, and boasts an impressive five Paralympic Games in his resume (2004-2020). Coggan is known to create plenty of headaches for the worlds best attacking players, his ability to defensively positioning himself makes it very difficult for opposition to get through. Also from Great Britain is Aaron Phipps (3.5), who scored an impressive eleven tries against United States in the Tokyo 2020 gold medal match, and will look to be a factor again here.  
       
      The Opening Ceremony of the 2023 Wheelchair Rugby European Championships is on May 3, with the first four play matches occurring the very same day. On May 4-5, pool play continues, and on May 6, classification round matches, 7th/8th place matches, and semifinals take place. 5th/6th place matches, bronze medal match, and gold medal match are on May 7.

      Coming up short of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 has not dashed the hopes of many players still dreaming of competing at the 2024 Olympics in France.
       
      The road to Paris is still open for 40 countries thanks to the FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournaments being introduced this year.
      The FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournaments field will be comprised of the 28 countries that participated in the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers and did not qualify for the 32-team World Cup to be staged this summer in the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia.
       
      Great Britain did not register for the event. They are replaced by Croatia, the best-ranked European team that did not participate in the Second Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Qualifiers.

      Shooting ESC 10m Events European Championships 2023 Final Review

      Totallympics

      Now when it is has lasted two days after the Championship, it is a good time to make a summary. There were totally 517 participants from 40 European Countries, 1086 starts.
       
      When we are looking at different statistics there is interesting information available. From 40 countries even 24 managed to win at least one medal. In my mind it is an excellent number, and it means that the high-level shooting sport has spread largely.
      Also when looking the countries who won Gold, it is interesting that there were different countries in Juniors and in Women/Men events: Italy, Sweden, Croatia and Denmark were the countries who won Gold medals in Juniors events, and Serbia, Norway and Germany in Senior (Men/Women) events.
       
      When studying the medal ranking/standing, Italy was the best in Junior events with 5 medals (3 Gold + 1 Silver + 1 Bronze). Behind Italy is Poland (2+0+1), Czech Republic (1+2+1) and Hungary (1+1+2).
       
      The list in Men/Women standing shows that Serbia is on the top with 6 medals (3+2+1). After Serbia comes Norway (3+0+1) and Germany (1+1+3). Norway is higher at the ranking while they have more Gold medals.
       
      But when looking at the medal standing, in which there are all events, Norway is on the top place. Norwegian managed to win 8 medals (3+3+2), Italy (3+2+3) and Serbia (3+2+3) reached the same number of medals too, but Norway had 1 Silver medal more.
      The Swedish Men Junior Team made a European Record in 10m Air Rifle Team Men Junior. It was the only new record in this Championship.
       


      Shooting sport is team sport too
      The Mixed teams are to stay in shooting sport. The numbers of teams will tell it; Air Rifle Mixed Team (M/W) was the most popular with 39 Teams and Air Pistol Mixed Team second with 32 teams, the most popular Junior team event was Air Pistol Mixed Team Junior with 30 teams. From regular Team (3 members) events the most popular was Air Rifle Team Women with 17 Teams.
      And finally, the last statistic will tell that the Air Rifle Women collected most participants (85), second was Air Rifle Men with 72 participants.
      Last but not least, there were 8 quotas to Paris 2024 (Women/Men, Air Pistol and Air Rifle) and 48 quotas to 2023 European Games.

      Big thanks and applauses to the Organizer
      It also time to thank the Organizer, Estonian Shooting Sport Federation. The Estonian Shooting Sport Federation successes awesome, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, although the weather outside was even -11 C and it snowed nearly every day. But the weather did not disturb. Interesting was that there were volunteers from Estonia, France and Finland. The co-operation managed absolutely well.
       
      I’ll miss the atmosphere of the “green” Final Hall in Ring Sport and Spa Center during the Finals when teammates and spectators supported roughly their athletes. It was fantastic!
       
      This Championship will last long in my mind.
       
      Thanks Estonia, thank you Tallinn, Thank you all!

      Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates take Olympic qualifying spots

      Totallympics

      In an exciting five-way battle for qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Doha (QAT) today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates scooped the two qualifying spots on offer to teams from Africa and the Middle East.
       
      It was anchor rider, Abdullah Alsharbatly, who clinched a definitive Saudi victory with a brilliant double-clear performance from Alamo, while the UAE lined up in second, Egypt finished third, Morocco lined up in fourth and the hosts were eliminated in the second round.
       
      The United Arab Emirates had the advantage at the halfway stage with just eight faults on the board. But the Saudis were close behind on nine while Qatar also looked strong with just 10. And Team Egypt were also well in touch going into round two with just 13 on their scorecard, discounting the uncharacteristic 23 collected by their last-line partnership of Nayel Nassar and El Conde.
      The Moroccans however were already well off the pace when racking up 25 first-round faults, and although they rallied brilliantly second time out Philippe Le Jeune’s side couldn’t recover.
       
      Led the way
      Morocco led the way into round two, adding 16 more faults including just four each from Abdelkebir Ouaddar (Istanbull VH Ooievaarshof) and Abdeslam Bennani Smires (Davino Q).
       
      And although Egypt’s Mouda Zeyada and If Looks Could Kill OH picked up 16 faults second time out, his team was still well in contention when Karim Elzoghby and Zandigo left just one on the floor while Mohamed Talaat and Chakra made it all the way to the final fence on Uliano Vezzani’s 13-obstacle track before making a mistake there and picking up an additional time fault. 
      If Nayal Nassar could show his usual form at his second attempt then Egypt would stay well in with a chance. But the 12-year-old El Conde had objected to the open water fence first time out, and when he did it again and completed with 12 on the board then the final Egyptian tally rose to 34.
       
      Meanwhile the hosts began to look vulnerable as soon as the second round got underway with elimination for their opening combination. Hamad Nasser Al Qadi’s 14-year-old gelding Sirocco stopped twice at the triple combination, and when Saeed Nasser SA Al Qadi and Incredible W were eliminated for the second time in the competition then Qatar’s day was done because they could not finish with three scores on the board. 
       
      It was a tough on Rashid Towaim Ali Al Marri who had picked up just three faults in the opening round with Concordess NRW, and even more so for Bassem Mohammed who had produced a sparkling clear from Caletto Cabana, because they would not get the opportunity to go back in the ring again.
       
      Shaky start
      The Saudis got off to a shaky restart when their pathfinders Abdulrahman Alrajhi and Babalou HD returned a nine-fault tally at their second attempt. However a lovely clear from Khaled Almobty and the former Ellen Whitaker ride Equine America Spacecake steadied the ship, and when Ramzy Al Duhami and Untouchable made a dramatic improvement from their 17-fault scoreline in round one to put just six on the board this time out then things were very definitely looking better. 
       
      And then Abdullah Alsharbatly crowned their day with the only double-clear of the competition from Alamo, the horse that carried Switzerland’s Steve Guerdat to victory at the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final in Gothenburg (SWE) back in 2019, to leave his side on a finishing score of just 15 faults.
       
      The UAE’s Abdullah Mohammed Al Marri and James VD Oude Heihoef and Abdullah Humaid Al Muhairi and Chacolu each had just a single fence down before their most junior team-member, 19-year-old Omar Abdul Aziz Al Marzooqi, picked up 10 faults with Dalida van de Zuuthoeve. That would be the drop-score when Mohammed Ghanem Al Hajri was last to go with G’s Fabian who returned with a total of nine and the final UAE tally would be 25 faults, plenty good enough to take that coveted second spot that will bring them to France next summer.
       
      Watershed moment
      There were a lot of happy faces during the post-competition interviews, and it was a watershed moment for the UAE team when achieving their very first equestrian Olympic qualification.
       
      “It was our mission to make history for our country, we never qualified for the Olympics as a team before”, Al Marri pointed out. “It’s been a long road, nearly seven or eight years planning and we failed the first time in Morocco so we were really desperate to qualify today. We had a lot of support from our Federation, our stables, our sponsors, the whole contingent from the UAE are supporting us, believing that we could do it today. We are so happy that we achieved it!”, he said.
       
      FEI President and IOC Member Ingmar De Vos, FEI Secretary General Sabrina Ibáñez and Mr Sami al Duhami who is Chair of FEI Regional Group 7 were all on hand during the prize-giving ceremony in which the winning team from Saudi Arabia stood top of the podium. 
       
      Not surprisingly London Olympian and individual world silver medallist, 40-year-old Abdullah Alsharbatly, was delighted with the winning result. “I’m really happy for my King, my country, for my team-mates and for all the Saudis. I’m over the moon!”, he said.
      Ramzy Al Duhami, who was on the Olympic bronze-medal-winning Saudi team alongside Alsharbatly in 2012 will be heading to his sixth Olympic Games next summer. “I’m so happy for myself and my team-mates, they made a really great performance and our captain Abdullah Alsharbatly, he has really done it for us today!”, said the experienced 51-year-old athlete. 
       
      Youngest
      At 24 years of age Khaled Almobty is the youngest Saudi team-member.
      “Today is a day to remember for the rest of our lives! To qualify for the most important show in the world, the most important Games in the world - the Olympic Games - I’m very happy and proud of my team-mates for all the hard work they put in, and hopefully we can continue success in the Olympics!”, he said.
       
      Like the rest of his team, 27-year-old Abdulrahman Alrajhi was thrilled with the result. Asked how he felt about heading for Paris 2024 he replied, “I don’t think I will be able to explain it in words, because it’s plenty of hard work - not just me - the whole team has been doing it.
       
      “We were fighting for the last four years because we didn’t qualify for the last Olympics and we were fighting so hard to qualify for this Olympics. I’m so happy and proud to be part of this - if I could be like this baby (Khaled) then I’d be proud! Ramzy is also a legend in this sport and Abdullah Alsharbatly is our machine, he really put in an unbelievable two clear rounds today that we are very proud of - thank you Abdullah!”, he said as the celebrations began.
       
      Saudi Arabia and The United Arab Emirates now join the list of countries qualified for the Olympic Games in Paris next year. The hosts from France are automatically qualified while Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands and Sweden qualified at last summer’s ECCO FEI World Championships and Belgium took the single qualifying spot on offer at the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Final 2022 in Barcelona (ESP) last October.

      2022-23 Men's World Rugby Sevens Series Begins with Olympic Quotas on the Line

      JoshMartini007

      With the 2022-23 season set to begin, the top men’s rugby sevens teams will have more of an incentive to perform well with Olympic quotas on the line. Along with the overall series title, the top four nations will also qualify a spot to the 2024 Olympics.
       
      The 2022-23 Men’s World Series will consist of 11 stops, up two from last season. Hong Kong (adding two stops, including the first which starts today), Australia (Sydney), New Zealand (Hamilton) and South Africa (Cape Town) are all returning after missing the last two season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The United Arab Emirates (Dubai) will only host one event this season while Spain (Malaga and Seville) has been completely dropped. See the current schedule below.
       

       
      The other big change is the amalgamation of England, Scotland and Wales into a single Great Britain team. Due to this, Japan avoided relegation while the 2022 Challenger Series winner, Uruguay will join the series as one of the 15-nation core team for the very first time. The other core nations include Argentina, Australia, Canada, Fiji, France, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Samoa, South Africa, Spain and the United States.
       
      Each tournament will consist of 16 teams, the core teams plus one invited team where the winner of the cup obtains 22 points. Second place gets 19 points, third 17 points decreasing down to 1 point for the joint 15th place finishers. At the end of the series, the nation with the most points will be the title winner along with the top 4 qualifying to the Olympics.
       
      The defending series champion is Australia who despite only winning a single event was the most consistent nation where they finished in the top four in 7/9 stops. They were closely followed by South Africa and defending World and Olympic champions Fiji.
       
      Olympic qualification will be hotly contested. Along with the above three teams, Argentina had a great season and won bronze at the Olympics. A qualification through the World Series here would make the continental qualifier more interesting with Uruguay and Chile looking to take advantage.
       
      Perennial powerhouse New Zealand will also seek to return to the top after missing out in the first half of the previous season. Ireland, bronze medalist from the World Cup could be considered a dark horse along with the newly combined power of Great Britain.
