Equestrian FEI Jumping Nations Cup 2022

As it stands, Switzerland, Belgium and Norway are in the qualification zone for the NC final. Argentina, Canada and Brazil are not out of it though.

 

Final rotation to come now.

[dcro 10,210]

Great clear for Brazil!

 

Now they can only wait, but I suspect they will just sneak in.

[dcro 10,210]

Spain makes the final!

 

I mean, they are always there as hosts, but rarely do they make the Top 8.

[dcro 10,210]

Norway is out.

[dcro 10,210]

GB goes down to a tie with Brazil, but they win the tie breaker based on time.

 

Brazil is in a pretty bad place now. One fence down from the Netherlands would probably be enough, though. Couple down for Belgium would seal the deal too, but that's fairly unlikely given their anchor rider.

[dcro 10,210]

Clear for Smolders. Brazil are out by 0.40 seconds.

 

So looks like only Belgium and Switzerland will battle it out for the Olympic quota on Sunday. That is, unless Albisu delivers a miracle clear (with up to 3 time faults).

[dcro 10,210]

That was very respectable from Albisu. He even attempted to speed up after a fence down, but then crashed through another fence. Argentina finishes 10th.

 

will contest the all-European Nations Cup final. will contest the Challenge Cup on Saturday.

I wonder how many news sites will incorrectly award Spain the Olympic quota should they repeat their performance and finish ahead of Belgium and Switzerland.

Unlikely to be too many to care enough to publish anything without a press release from the FEI unfortunately

Im a little surprised with the performance of Argentina, the Panamerican games is the only last chance to qualiify teams for the Panamerican countries?
