On the contrary, eventing is often a second career for the horses that don't make it in horse racing business (especially in the USA)... ;)

That would explain why the quality of our art class glue has gone down...

:EGY Nayel Nassar won Masters Tournament in New York :clap: , another great victory for Egyptian riding , btw there's something funny that shows how corrupted sport here in Egypt Nayel wasn't chosen to represent Egypt in last WEG in USA where he's based just because the federation president wanted one his friends' son to participate

If that's what happens to the riders, what happens to the horses?

@Vojthas Some exciting results at the Polish eventing championships (which also served as international 4* event). I imagine this was sort of a selection event for the Polish team for Group C qualifier?

Well, I didn't see any rules of selecting for the qualifier, but for sure the team manager will take these results under consideration. If we qualify Spisak will have a chance for his 5th Olympics - he would be only the 17th Pole to do so in 100-year-old history of Polish Olympic Movement (ok, minus four years as we didn't participate in 1920 Olympics due to war against Soviet Union).

Final session of dressage at Badminton Horse Trials is in progress... Live stream and live scores are available at the respective links.

 

Total British domination, however this looks to be the least international Badminton possibly ever... Nevertheless, team gold for next year is decided.

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
