What a stage! A LOT of one-handed riding, which is usually an Iberian thing, so I guess not that surprising. It was definitely very different than your usual WC stage. :d

 

Maria Caetano (likely) achieved the first ever WC podium for :POR !

 

Also, amazing 7th place for :BER Collins. Wow, what a result for Bermuda, almost 74%. She really went for a high degree of difficulty and it paid off, so very well done. Her music was somehow expectedly a mix of Caribbean tunes. :p

FEI wants to be young and urban too, so yesterday we saw the introduction of short Grand Prix, despite the overwhelming disapproval from, well, everyone.

 

Quote

Many dressage fans with the sport close to their heart have been very negative about this test project, especially because vital movements which test the essence of dressage (harmony, relaxation and lightness) have been scratched from the test (halt-rein back, zig zag, difficult pi-pa transitions). As long as the FEI chooses to sacrifice the spine of the sport over "entertainment" (and thereby going against animal welfare), it will rightfully provoke such negative reactions.

 

The FEI and its stakeholder clubs keep many aficionados frothing at the mouth because of their consistent work ethic of behind-closed-door decision taking by a select group of the same people, over and over. Changes are consistently introduced to the riders, press and those involved as surprise decisions. No democratic, open process, no open discussion, no time for digestion and proper reflection whether the project will work or whether it has any flaws.

    • Now that I've had half a day to recover from the traumatic hockey loss, I can answer this question better:   Favourite Moments from Canadian Athletes (not many but they still exist) The Cross-Country skiing team delivering great performance after great performance and giving hope for a Canadian renaissance in the sport Rachel Homan finally overcoming her Olympic demons and winning a medal in curling Mikael Kingsbury winning the first dual moguls Olympic gold medal at capping his career with an Olympic gold Megan Oldham winning gold in freeski big air Seeing the emergence of Stephen Gogolev in men's figure skating Deanna Stellato-Dudek finally getting to live out her Olympic dream at 42 years old when it looked like it wouldn't be the case after an injury in a practice session Piper Gilles/Paul Poirier finally getting an Olympic medal in Ice Dance Courtney Sarault winning 4 medals after winning no medals in 2022 and almost quitting the sport in 2023 Laurent Dubreuil finally winning a medal in the 500m Valerie Maltais (at 35 years old) turning back the clock and having a career year winning 3 Olympic medals in speed skating Women's Team Pursuit winning back-to-back gold medals   Favourite Moments from International Athletes:  Lucas Pinheiro Braathen winning gold in the men's giant slalom  Johan-Olav Botn dedicating his win to Sivert Guttorm Bakken  Federica Brignone overcoming injury and winning 2 gold medals  Lisa Vittozzi winning biathlon gold on home soil  Seeing the incredible Bulgarian performances in biathlon  Elana Meyers Taylor finally winning Olympic gold  Klaebo dominance Nazgul the dog  Mikhail Shaidorov winning gold in men's figure skating  Alysa Liu winning gold after retiring from the sport in 2022 Men's Freeski big air final Seeing the emergence of  Kacper Tomasiak in ski jumping The parallel giant slalom events  Choi Ga-on winning halfpipe gold after a scary injury on her 1st run Even though it wasn't the result I wanted, the men's snowboard cross final had a thrilling finish  Francesca Lollobrigida stunning everyone with gold in the women's 3000m and 5000m In general, seeing all the countries that hadn't won a Winter Olympic medal ever or in a long time win a medal at these Games
    • My proposal:   Skimo: Only a long distance race   Freestyle skiing: remove dual moguls or make it somehow different than regular moguls Like more focus in first to finish than technical score, otherwise it doesnt fit for a parallell format. Remove team events in freestyle.   Alpine skiing: take back individual  combined and remove the team event (but if they keep it, only allow one team/nation)   Curling: consider to include a singles skills event    Cross country skiing: can be kept it as it is but if they would consider removing team sprint, replace with having one sprint of each style. They could also make 50 km as individual start, and skiathlon should change order of free/classical between each championship.   Luge/skeleton/bob: remove relays. There is already team events (2men/4men)   Figure skating: remove team event   Speed skating: replace team Pursuit with a relaty format. Remove mass start.   Short track: remove some events, maybe relay, maybe 1000m or something.   Biathlon: like the current programme but to be honest (and my proposal might be controversial) the Pursuit is maybe the best event showtime who is best actuslly over 6 shootings and in a combination of individual start and head to head but it is strange to give out medals for both sprint and for a following race with handicap start. Like the winner of round Robin curling would get a gold and then a new good in playoffs. Why not have a Pursuit based on a shooting contest or something instead of a previous medal event?   Consider to include new sport: Bandy
