They also announced the jumping team (with Lucy Deslauriers being the travelling reserve).

Well that’s how we enter every place unfortunately :cry:. In all seriousness, I’m very much happy to see some A level athletes making their way to Lima. Our evening team will be hard to beat.

Dressage team is quite strong, with every A-lister going to Lima (minus Brittany Fraser who is on baby break). They could feasibly challenge less interested USA for both gold medals (which would help the Canadian medal tally?).

 

Lisa Carlsen is back on the Canadian team for the first time since Seoul 1988!

What about the other two disciplines? Any chance for Olympic qualification?

Yes, I think both should qualify. Eventing and jumping teams are not bad, even if they miss star power.

 

I think Brazil will be the main victim of these Games. They may even end up going home with no qualification at all.

Peruvian dressage team has been announced - http://www.eurodressage.com/2019/06/25/peruvian-team-selected-2019-pan-american-games

 

Nobody here does Grand Prix, so they can be removed from Olympic contention (just like Colombia and Guatemala, so far).

American dressage team has been announced. Basically all of their top combinations picked summer in Europe over Lima, so doors are left opened for Canada.

    • Stage 1 in Lillehammer (NOR)   Mixed Team Large Hill:   1.  Germany (Freitag, Wellinger, Schmid, Paschke)    1097.4 2. Norway (Stroem, Sundal, Kvandal, Lindvik)    1075.1 3. Austria (Eder, Tschofenig, Pinkelnig, Hoerl)    1065.9   Full Final Result HERE
    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.
