Equestrian FEI World Championships 2022


Recommended Posts

Briliant ride for Adrienne Lyle. Most of all it's her freestyle program that's good (Bruce Springsteen and Working Girl).


Kind of astonishing how the Americans always outclass the snoozefest Europeans in terms of programs they present.

Medalists repeat their medals from the special. Top 2 got really inflated, considering neither has a true piaffe.

 

Vamos Amigos' piaffe can be classified as passage on spot (which is the main reason why Bohemian was more ready for these championships), but then again, Glamourdale trails his legs. I remember these kinds of piaffes getting 7.5 at most as recently as in Tokyo, but there you go, today Glamourdale got 7.7-8.3.


At least Dinja van Liere got away with bronze today with a much cleaner test. Pitty for Werndl & Famoso who really impressed here. Famoso is a definition of a "happy athlete" (the term FEI really likes).


Adrienne Lyle & Salvino were the most fun to watch this evening for me personally. :yes I have really enjoyed Werndl's African-themed program too.

OK @dcro I'd like your opinion on this.

Yesterday I was talking to somebody to somebody who lives 1km from me and who used to compete at a good national level in dressage.

She told me that judges from the English speaking world will never give high marks to German and Dutch riders with links to the RollKur method of training (like, for example, Werth) dressage horses because they believe it is cruel to the horses. Do you believe this is true?

It's a sensitive subject and please leave Werth out of this. She was never in that bracket. Also - the English speaking judges are no different than other ones. That seems like a large misconception.

 

With few exceptions here and there, rollkur is almost exclusively associated with the Netherlands. But that is somewhat understandable, given that Anky van Grunsven was the highest profile rider criticized for it, and yet she was showered with medals back in the day. And by understandable, I mean it's only natural that people are trying to follow the champion's ways, especially when that champion was also their countrywoman.

 

Things have changed and there are no longer tense, over-bent horses winning medals.

Yeah, that statement about English speaking judges really bugged me so I had to check.

 

When Isabell Werth took the Special World title in 2018, with the astronomic score of 86.246% (nobody has scored as highly since), it was the British judge who awarded it by far the highest mark (over 89%).

 

So yeah, maybe that someone is not being very objective about judging patterns. :p

 I will never claim to be a dressage expert. I am only relying on what was told to me.

 

One more thing though, you say Anky van Grunsven was the highest profile rider criticized for Rollkur, my friend said Bonfire was probably the best dressage horse ever but her next superstar, Salinero, was ridiculously overrated. Do you agree or is that unfair?

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
