Do you think they will meet the minimum requirements to compete at the Olympics?

They might, but the main problem is the Certificate of Capability for the team event (meaning 3 riders with MER by December 31, otherwise team quota is gone).

 

China will probably find the away. Alex Hua Tian is already established at the highest level, while Sun successfully stepped up to 4* last month... Hong Kong has some experience (Heffernan Ho competes at 4*, Lam is already show jumping Olympian). Thailand is just hopeless though, at least for now...

That's what I meant, this could affect nations trying to qualify an individual should Hong Kong/Thailand fail to meet the minimum requirements.

Indeed, and since we are talking eventing here, period for Certificate of Capability effectivelly ends in mid November. Add to that the required rest period of 4 weeks in between the attempts at long format 4* events, and there you have it, arguably the hardest minimum eligibility standards of all Olympic sports.

Didn't know that. I think the other groups are fine, unless a major upset happens (Group C?)

Maybe with Czech Republic it could be a problem, but even then it might not. Unlike Groups F/G event which is held at 3* level, Group C qualifier will also serve as 4* MER opportunity.
