Equestrian FEI World Championships 2022

Apparently it's allowed because of the rules in Denmark...

 

So, yeah, he competed sick on Saturday (without disclosing it to public), and then he will also compete today.

 

Mind you, he was being interviewed after his ride on Saturday. As if nothing is going on. Incredible.

One could say that Dufour lost this title on the one tempis, but more likely it was due to her decision to ride Vamos Amigos instead of the much more experienced, and more refined Bohemian. Sure, Vamos posted some nice scores in Aachen, slightly higher than Bohemian, but that was an outlier.

Anyways, the new champion got slightly overscored, as it is very often the case with British riders, but hey, at least she doesn't have a fake, rehearsed persona like her more popular namesake. Fry seems to be quite shy in fact. Sort of like Rybakina of dressage.

 

Dinja van Liere got the bronze with a hilariously inflated score. Sure, Hermes has very nice and elegant piaffe and passage, but they are still largely unpolished (doesn't matter, the judges are turning the blind eye). In transitions his legs go every-which way, more like a deer rather than a horse.

 

And finally Isabell Werth got robbed. She should have won the bronze medal. She got demoted to 4th, basically, single-handedly by the British judge whose scores have been eye raising more often than not, to put it lightly. Hopefully he will not be returning for any major championships any time soon.

I know nothing about the sport but Charlotte Fry seems a likable character

Looking down the results sheet, Alejandro Sanchez del Barco delivered another great test with which he has qualified for the freestyle in 15th. Well done! Joao Oliva proved Tokyo was no fluke. In fact, today he placed 21st. Less than a percentage point away from the freestyle qualification. Way to go. Solid, but not spectacular 24th place for Wagner Ehlinger.

Luckily, all these teams had 5th rider on site, so nobody will be cut short.
