:AUT :BEL :ESP qualified teams for Paris.

 

Belgium did really well. Spain meanwhile was kind of bad but they made it.


Sad for Finland. It was not their championshpis. Based on 2021 results they would have qualified easily.

 

Norway and Luxembourg did as much as they possibly can given the low level of their third riders. They never stood a chance once Belgium started pulling 70%+ scores out of the bag.

Battle for gold will be tight so there is every possibility that the strategic scoring from the British judge (who else?) will make the difference. :rolleyes:

As much as I love a good conspiracy theory, the battle for gold was never likely to be all that close - neither Germany nor Denmark brought their top horse/rider combinations to the competition whereas GB did.

Still Wessles raised Hester/Dujardin's average by over 0.75% which is a lot given that is the seven-judge average. Anyone who follows these events would have known that anything was possible before Fry entered the arena.

 

 

And this is way beyond any conspiracy, the last time Isobel Wessels got selected to judge championships:

 

6 judges: 74.4%-76.2%

Wessels: 80.196%

 

Way above any bias. Plain cheating.

You can cherry pick any scores from within the set and paint a distorted picture but it seldom leads to a balanced view.

 

You are absolutely correct when you say that Wessels' score increased the average for Hester (+0.406) and Dujardin (+0.357) however by the same measure, her score reduced the average for Charlotte Fry (-0.228). The net impact on :GBRscore from Wessels was therefore +0.37.

 

For :GER, Wessels had minimal impact on Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Frederic Wandres (-0.08 and +0.026 respectively) whilst she increased the average score for Isabel Werth by 0.326 points. Her net impact on German team score was therefore +0.273.

 

Her impact was most marked for :DEN- increasing the team score by over 0.7 points. The scores for all three riders were elevated by Wessels - Nanna Skodborg Merrald (+0.241), Carina Cassoe Kruth (+0.327) and Andreas Helgstrand (+0.135).

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
