Definite entries

 

Poland downgraded themselves from team to just two individuals. No changes otherwise.

I love those names :lol:

About Poland, I have no idea why we are sending just two riders, maybe athletes realized that they don't have a chance for quota in this event and doesn't want waste moneys for traveling, or maybe something wrong happened with horses...

It's weird. Seems like the Polish federation is not very interested to send teams except for the Olympic Games. There are eligible Polish riders out there, but aside from Tokyo, the federation just hasn't been sending teams out there recently.

 

Before Tokyo, you need to go back to Strzegom 2017 to find the last time Poland had a team, but that's because they were the hosts probably. And before Strzegom, the 2014 WEG was the last time, when Poland was much, much weaker compared to today.

It's all happening this week.

 

Here is a throwback at the last time Pratoni hosted championships (2007 Europeans). Pratoni slide was there, and it will be there once again this year early in the course (but with different obstacles, of course).

Everyone passed the horse inspection, except sadly :MEX Daniela Moguel's Cecelia who was withdrawn from the holding box.


Start list and team rotations will be out shortly.

Start list is out.

Germany was drawn first which is the least ideal position. Brazil will end the team rotation. Somehow Canada always gets drawn early, but at least they will not be forced to be the competition trail blazers like they were in both Rio and Tryon, their last two team appearances. :wacko:

 

Regarding the individual rider for big nations, there are no real surprises there. Team USA is kind of dumb for going with Lauren Nicholson over Arial Grald. New Zealand choosing Spencer over Pottinger is curious as well. But maybe they just don't like Pottinger & Just Kidding's show jumping record.

    • so, the Swiss reigning champions, who saved their ass in the last match of the RS, now are almost safe in the semis once again...   very impressive performance also by RB Salzburg, I didn't expect them to make such a good run, even if the 2nd leg match won't be easy at all and they're all but safe in the final four
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Results   Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE)  1-2 (0-0, 1-1, 0-1) Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE)  3-1 (1-1, 2-0, 0-0) Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)  4-0 (2-0, 1-0, 1-0)
    • I guess 65, 79, 88, 110, 110+ will be the Olympic classes for 2028 (I don't think IOC would allow them to increase the number of gold medals available at the Games yet...most likely they want to to stay with the current lineup and see how it goes in the next Olympic cycle in terms of doping scandals before taking any decision)  or maybe they will keep those weights for the "regular activity" and later on they will set 5 different weight classes only good for Olympic purposes, with dedicated tournaments when it's time for the OQ (like Taekwondo, more or less)  but it's just my personal speculation, I have no infos from the inside 
    • Today the funniest tournament of the season, the Shoot Out, will starts
    • Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.
    • if they limit the number of qualified athletes to 8 per category that will not exceed the allocated quota (marginally). I know 8 athletes only is a bit harsh but will be more competitive.  
    • Thank you for putting this together, it was fun to go through. From your keyboard to God's ears on Canada's short track team here (I believe you have us at 4-1-1, which is realistic if everything works out).   Leaving us off the podium in speed skating women's pursuit was interesting.   Three medals of any colour in curling would be celebrated at this point after two disasterous cycles.   In hockey, I'll always take our girls over the Americans (was "lucky" enough to see them lose in 2018 in person, though. Only time in 6 Games. Haha...hahahahaha...ha).    For the men, I said above unless Canada finds a goaltender I'm not too optimistic. USA is just too well rounded. But lots can happen by then, and in a one game elimination tournament. 
    • big decision by IWF   new weight categories, 8 for men and 8 for women from June 2025   Men 60kg, 65kg, 71kg, 79kg, 88kg, 98kg, 110kg, +110kg Women 48kg, 53kg, 58kg, 63kg, 69kg, 77kg, 86kg, +86kg   and this means all World records will be erased AGAIN !    https://iwf.sport/2024/12/03/iwf-executive-board-meeting-in-manama-brn-december-2-3-main-decisions/   I think that was a good decision, 10 weights was too much. but erasing the current World Records was the down side of this decision.   but does this mean they have some agreements with IOC to have all these weights at the Olympics ? that looks unlikely though  but looking at the numbers and the gap between weights none of them look like a "non-Olympic weight" at least that's what IWF thinks.
