Well, this is quite bizzarre...

 

2019 Asian Championships had a Hong Kong judge who withdrew from judging in freestyle because she suddenly didn't feel well. Today she passed away...

:DEN Denmark showed their cards today.

 

Cathrine Dufour & Bohemian - 83.043% :hatoff:

Carina Cassoe Kruth & Danciera - 76.413% :woot:

Anders Dahl & Fidelio - 73.978% - and this is about as high as they will go...

Daniel Bachmann Andersen & Zepter - 73.913% - just too many mistakes :dunno:

Even more impressive second day for the Danes. :bowdown:

 

Cathrine Dufour & Bohemian - 82.681%

Carina Cassoe Kruith & Danciera - 80.106% :hyper:

Daniel Bachmann Andersen & Zepter - 78.745% :hatoff:

Anders Dahl & Fidelio - 75.532%

 

 

Cathrine, Carina and Daniel appear to be the dream team at the moment... But let's wait and see what Anna Kasprzak and much-hyped Nanna Merrald can do. It will also be crucial to gather whether or not Carina can sustain this form.

This is a good start, but they have their work cut out if they want to be a shoe-in for any medal.

Yeah, at best this puts them into the conversation for a medal. If they can repeat this performance they will likely get a medal, but the best they could do is silver IMO. Germany would need to have a horrible day to not win team gold in dressage right now.

That's new (for me)...I thought Tim Lips was one of the many decent participants who only had like a tiny chance for a medal if everything went absolutely perfect.

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
