Denmark already qualified 

[Robertino 85]

My mistake... that's dressage, not jumping...

[dcro 10,179]

Based on the nominated entries, it looks like will battle for the three Olympic spots.

 

Spain should be safe, while for other two spots I am going with Austria and Finland. But we'll see. Arguably everyone stands a chance, except Ireland.

Italy didn't even entry an individual pair.. Our dressage is simply dead after the Truppa affaire...

Both will be re-inspected tomorrow morning. Polish rider is an individual.

 

In other news, Ruoste pulled out sadly just a couple of days ago. A big blow for the Finnish team in terms of the Olympic qualification, but I believe they will still scrape in.

The first- and second-line riders across all teams have competed. 

 

At the top of the leaderboard:

 

 - 78.540 (Discard: 74.565). Bringing back Carl Hestor seems to have paid off and they are currently running 2.5 points ahead of their team score at last year's World Champs.

 - 77.174 (Discard: 74.845). Isabell Werth scores pretty much bang on same score she got in 2022 World Champs. 

 - 74.410 (Discard: 74.146). Over 2.3 points lower than 2022 World Champs.

 

(NB - The German team has 2 new riders compared to their 2022 squad whilst Denmark have the same riders as 2022 but they are on different horses.)

 

 

In the quest for Olympic quotas:

 

 - 71.724 (Discard: 70.217). Currently sits 4th overall. Score is down 1.7 on 2022 score.

 - 71.584 (Discard: 70.947). Currently 5th overall. Down 0.7 points on 2022 WC score.

 - 71.072 (Discard: 69.068). Currently 8th overall. Score is up 2.7 compared to 2022 WC performance.  

 - 69.596 (Discard: 65.978). Currently 10th overall. New combination but team score 0.5 points higher than 2022.

 - 68.898 (Discard: 68.059). Currently 11th overall. As above, new combination in the team but score is broadly in line with 2022. 

 - 68.633 (Discard 65.994). Currently 12th overall

 - 67.220 (Discard: 66.972). Currently 13th overall. Pretty much the same score they achieved in 2022. 

 - 65.994 (Discard: N/A). Currently 14th overall. Over 4 points higher than they achieved in 2022. 

 - 64.689 (Discard: NA). Currently 15th overall

 - 64.037 (Discard: N/A). Currently 16th overall. Around 1.7 points lower than 2022.

 

At the moment, Austria, Spain and Belgium are looking pretty good for quotas but Portugal could run them close (probably at the expense of Austria).

[Rafa Maciel 1,257]

The third-line riders across all teams have competed. 

 

At the top of the leaderboard:

 

 - 160.962(Discard: 74.565). Charlotte Dujardin looks to be back to form scoring 82.422 and sits at the top of the leaderboard - that's a gain of over 4 points compared to 2022. Overall the team is running over 7.5 points ahead of last year's World Champs.

 - 155.062 (Discard: 74.845). Just under a point ahead of 2022 WC score s pretty much bang on same score she got in 2022 World Champs. 

 - 150.171 (Discard: 74.146). Beginning to drop off the pace. Now around 3.5 points lower than 2022 World Champs.

 

Worth saying at this point that only  have brought their top team to this competition so the scores are slightly flattering them. 

 

In the quest for Olympic quotas we're down to 4 fighting for 3 places with Portugal beginning to make their move up the table:

 

 - 144.954 (Discard: 70.217). Drops back to 5th overall. Victoria Max-Theurer Score ups her 2022 WC score by 4.55 with the team now running 1.678 ahead of world championship score.

 - 142.780 (Discard: 70.947). Currently 8th overall. Down 1.2 points on 2022 WC score.

 - 141.817 (Discard: 65.978). Currently 9th overall. Team score over 1.2 points higher than 2022. 

 - 141.476 (Discard: 69.068). Currently 10th overall. Running over 3.5 points up 2.7 compared to 2022 WC performance.  

 - 139.100 (Discard: 68.059).  Currently 11th overall. Just under a point ahead of 2022 WC score.

 - 136.055 (Discard 65.994). Currently 12th overall

 - 135.962 (Discard: NA). Currently 13th overall

 - 135.201 (Discard: 66.972). Currently 14th overall. Team have dropped over 2.3 points behind their 2022 score. 

 - 133.370 (Discard: N/A). Currently 15th overall. Still running over 2.2 points higher than they achieved in 2022 but out of contention. 

 - 127.438 (Discard: N/A). Currently 16th overall. All going a bit wrong for Ireland and now almost 6 points behind their 2022 WC score.
