And yeah... It's bad. For stupid reasons, the FEI keeps insisting on raising the minimum eligibility score in dressage.

 

For Tokyo, it was raised from 64% to 66%. 64% was used for Beijing, London and Rio. Now they have raised it *again* to 67%. And that's despite the proposal to keep it at 66%, which was dismissed by saying the "increase was correct in relation to the current competition level". Hilarious thing to say after two years of an umprecedented pandemic.

That's a weak excuse. The MER should be focused on safety not talent (unless they want to admit to "score inflation"). They're just trying to exclude the Group F team or individual riders without outright saying it.

Lists of international events for 2023 have appeared on the FEI calendar. These hold implications for the Olympic rankings, but the calendar is still TBC.

 

Curiously, both Colombia and South Africa are set to host a number of 4* eventing competitons. Especially South Africa is bound to host *a lot* of them. Doors to Paris are instantly left wide open.

 

But first let's see if FEI will play along. Traditionally they are not big fans of high level competitions popping out of nowhere in the OQ season.

Russia and Belarus have submitted international events to the 2023 calendar as well... But these have been promptly shut down and the ban has been extended too.

 

Effectively this removes them out of Paris 2024 whatever happens from now on. Well, most certainly in eventing as their points farming events have been axed at last. :bye: Excellent news for the likes of Lithuania, Hungary, Estonia.

Ranking rules have been revealed.

No big changes in dressage. Notably, results from the Short Grand Prix will count this time.

 

No changes at all in eventing despite some earlier rumors about a more fair ranking system coming into play. Oh well.

 

Most notable change in jumping is a significant reduction in points for the competitions with less than 15 entrants.

Ranking events for dressage have been revealed.

It's mostly the same events which are happening annually. Looks like Brazil learned their lesson. They have several home events listed so keeping the team quota should not b a problem this time. Curiously, Mexico is set to host several events and there is even one in Uzbekistan.

And finally the eventing calendar.

https://inside.fei.org/system/files/OG Qualifying Events Eventing Calendar 2023_V1.pdf

 

A lot of events in South America this time (but curiously no Brazil) and a lot in South Africa too... Hopes are high.

 

Watch out for Bulgaria snatching the quota in Romanian events. They have a promising rider coming through ranks.

First results from Exloo are already in.

 

And just like that the first provisional leader of the rankings is,

:HUN Jazmin Yom-Tov (Hexagon's Grandville) - 68.022% - 180 points

    • Another heart breaking result   I'm resigned to see them competing at next's years IIB
    • The problem is XD is a fun event, but its essentially a social event, and lags far behind the others both at Grand Slams and Olympics - no quotas of its own, very limited prize money - as the indivisual Olympic tennis has got more and more important, the top players have limited thhier doubles participation to the main M and W D.   a team format, however, gets some fo that BJK/Davis cup magic, and because it'll b enovel, they can REALLY mess around with it - for example, a three set match could consists of MS first set, WS second and, if needed mixed doubles decider - light work load and quick competition. could play three matches a day if needed   Would not be incredibly shocked if BOTH golf and tennis adopted a quickfire 'Olympic' format - Singles, singles, doubles - (In golf it would be 9 hole matchplay with sets replaced with 9 hole matches, and the order men's indi, women's indi, mixed foursome   On Compound, nice to see it but odd too for GB - Ella Gibson is one of the outstanding shooters of her time, but GBR don't seem to have a male compound shooter worth a candle   On voluntary team sports (Flag football, cricket, lacrosse) I smell a rankings heavy approach with continental rep limited to 3 - though they may be real sneaky with cricket and go host (USA), Euro 1(GBR), Oceania 1(Aus), Asia (1)(India) Africa 1(South Africa) and Final Qualifier 1, heavily loaded with Asia and West Indies individual teams, perhaps Ireland and New Zealand for the appearance of balance.   The Iroquois question still unresolved. GBR would be a rankings pick in everything bar men's flag football   Wonder about the Team gymnastics - Super quick fire high peril format maybe of just one gymnast per apparatus, with the floor and vault reserved to the women so each sex provide only 4 scores - would make it feel different to the existing team events, and make USA a less guaranteed gold. Qualifiation by highest score in overall Q in each event - even if that score comes from same athlete in multiple events
    • i'm too  emotionally drained to really write all the pr's right now so safe to say there were a number of them.good night,happy i don't have to have heart attacks till sunday.
    • Eammanoul sousa wins flight 2 with 67.51 a huge 3 meter personal best and extension of his national record.
    • https://worldboxing.org/ioc-confirms-gender-parity-in-boxing-at-la28-with-seven-weight-classes-for-both-men-and-women/       Well I didn't see this coming but eh world boxing have gotten rid of men's flyweight!!!!! Non Olympics weights are now 50kg, 75kg and 85kg for the men and 48kg, 80kg and 80+kg for the women. I think it is good news that they haven't added womens heavyweight but men's flyweight being gone is a shocker especially for "smaller" nations. In Rio like we had both 49 and 52kg below 56kg but now flyweight is gone completely. I mean it is tricky to have 10 weightclasses and then have only 7 for the Olympics and for both the 10 and the 7 to be evenly spaced out but like im very surprised that its flyweight thats gone and not one of 55,60,65kg. To be honest selfishly from an Irish perspective at least for this cycle I don't hate it but flyweight was one of the most competitive divisions so it being gone will hurt the weaker (well i couldn't make the small joke twice) boxing countries.   Just for context the Paris weights were (M51, M57, M63.5, M71, M80, M92 and M92+ and then W50, W54, W57, W60, W66, W75)
    • results are being posted now dimitris pavlidis of greece 63.55
    • That's why they only offered 750 points to the winner as an initial compromise. If you were the 4th/5th best player in your nation and were not selected due to NOC limits and you cared about points you would be better off competing at a different event at the same time. With a depleted field you'd likely earn more points there anyway.   It was more because ATP/WTA tournaments held at the same time were losing out on players and thus attendance for the tournaments were low.
