In terms of Olympic qualification, shame for Japan to lose a rider and drop out of Olympic qualification position. The Group F/G qualifier has gone from an opportunity for a weaker nation to :AUS and :JPN being big favourites. Of course, with eventing a surprise elimination can happen.

Obviously this helps Europe quite a bit as they now have 5 nations plus France qualified. The Group A/B qualifier will have :BEL and :ITA as favourites which opens up the Nations Cup quota (assuming :AUS :BRA :CAN :JPN :POL all get the job done). We could see qualification from  :AUT :ESP or :NED maybe even :DEN should they make a push.

Ros Canter was the drop score for GBR Team at the end of dressage phase and ends up being the top counter them at the end of show jumping. Never seen that happen before.

 

To make it worse, she misses out on the bronze medal because she went round the cross country course too quickly :(

Excellent to have three continents on the team podium.


First title for :GER Germany since 2014 WEG. It's been a while. :USA United States is back after a long drought and really a tough period. First global team medal since Athens 2004! :NZL New Zealand is back on podium for the first time since London 2012.

Meanwhile, Great Britain fails to win a team medal at the World for the first time since Kentucky 1978. :yikes:

 

Canada won back then. Their strategy, famously known to this day, was to go clear at all costs. They were incredibly slow in fact, but thanks to the course being an absolute riot, it was enough for a comfortable gold medal. :p

Wow.

 

Literal replay of Tryon 2018. German leader drops the last fence down to award the gold to Briton...

In fairness to Izzy, who was competing at her first ever major championship (European, World or Olympic), it wasn't awarded it was earned with a brilliant performance throughout. Amazingly close finish with seven riders covered by a fence. Ditto the team event with teams 2-4 within 0.6 pts of each other and less than 6 pts covering the top four. Another equestrian event where you end up almost jumping with the riders! 😊

 

P.S. Useless fact - She's the sixth British woman to win the world title after Mary Gordon-Watson, Lucinda Green, Virginia Leng, Zara Tindall and Ros Canter but we're still waiting for our first male individual winner.

    • Fingers crossed the women’s curling gold medal match also undergoes changes, very preferably an hour earlier so it doesn’t conflict with the men’s hockey gold medal match    Seriously, what were they thinking 
    • And yet another version is out . This time with some more noticeable changes.   Ice Hockey: Women's semifinals moved from the Rho Arena to the Santa Giulia Arena Women's gold medal game moved up to a 19:10 start time (was previous 20:10)   Speed Skating: Most of the events have had their session cut by somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Start times remain the same   Figure Skating: Looks like the order of events in team event is now: Ice Dance -> Pairs -> Women. Women were previously listed first.   Alpine Skiing: Downhill portion of the team combined cut by 45 minutes 1st Run of the Giant Slalom and Slalom events cut by 30 minutes   Ski Mountaineering: Sprint heats extended by 8 minutes. Finals session extended by 13 minutes   Ski Jumping: All sessions shortened by 5 to 15 minutes  
    • Detailed Competition schedule with start times is out   20241031_MiCo2026 Para Comp Schedule Version 4.pdf
    • Qualification for the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been announced. There'll be 2 qualification Pools and 4 teams in each with the top 2 teams in each pool advancing to the 2026 WBC.   As a fan of international baseball, words cannot describe how disappointed I am. We are coming off arguably the greatest international baseball tournament in history in 2023 and we are cutting the number of teams in the qualification round from 12 to 8 teams . How do you expect to grow baseball like that? Teams like  Argentina and  Pakistan have been on the rise but now they won't have the chance to qualify.     Taipei Qualification Pool (Feb. 21-25, 2025)  Nicaragua  South Africa  Spain  Taiwan     Tucson Qualification Pool (Mar. 2-6, 2025)  Brazil  China  Colombia  Germany  
    • Day 2 (November 10) Results:    Venezuela 2-4  Panama   Netherlands 2-12  United States  Mexico 7-5  Puerto Rico   Day 3 (November 11) Results:  United States 3-5  Venezuela  Panama 3-2  Mexico    Standings
    • Well... I'm late, as always, but unfortunately I couldn't follow live and I've just finished catching up with the thread.    Congratulations to our winner @Hipooo and to @Belle and @Erigert on their medals.    Well done to our host @Cinnamon Bun, who put up a huge effort managing the contest.   Thank you to everyone who voted for our song and helped us achieve this 5th place. I saw we were very close to a podium finish, but this is still a great result.   Congratulations to @Makedonas on the very successful song choice.   I'll now share my ballot.     1st   12 pts   Romania  2nd   11 pts   Bulgaria  3rd   10 pts   Sweden  4th   9 pts   Mexico  5th   8 pts   Brazil  6th   7 pts   Indonesia  7th   6 pts   China  8th   5 pts   France  9th   4 pts   Denmark  10th   3 pts   Spain  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Albania    Res1   Ireland  Res2   India  Res3   Hungary   I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!
    • Both side of BRICS money , bye bye dollar        Very expensive   
    • More concerning anti-dog discrimination: Babygirl (R-WV) has been banned from the Senate.   https://www.axios.com/2024/11/12/babydog-jim-justice-senate-floor
    • Kristi Noem has been nominated as Secretary of Homeland Security.   As someone who pretends to be a dog on the Internet I am scared.
