Japanese dressage selection trials will be held on June 1-2. Apparently they will ride Grand Prix tests on both days and the top four will be selected. Reasonable decision, considering that their chance of progressing from Grand Prix stage of competition is ZERO.

 

Six riders will compete:

Yuko Kitai (Don Lorean)

Masanao Takahashi (Fabriano)

Akane Kuroki (Toots)

Shingo Hayashi (Ramses, Clearwater)

Kazuki Sado (Ziroco)

Kiichi Harada (Egistar)

And the Japanese trials are over.

 

Yuko Kitai (Don Lorean) 69.234%

Masanao Takahashi (Fabriano) 66.334%

Kiichi Harada (Egistar) 65.783%

Akane Kuroki (Toots) 65.183%

 

Reserve: Shingo Hayashi (Ramses) 63.950%

 

Everyone is going to their first Olympics, except Yuko Kitai (competed in 2008)... And also horse Fabriano, who was ridden by Renate Voglsang (AUT) in London. Actually, Egistar is the only horse that Japanese didn't buy during the last year. All other horses are pretty much the experienced "schoolmasters" they bought for mostly inexperienced riders, just for this occasion (and for the future experience I guess).

 

EDIT: Japanese jumping team was also named today http://www.worldofshowjumping.com/en/News/Japanese-team-for-Olympic-Games-in-Rio-announced.html

German dressage championships in Balve started today with a Grand Prix (that's the first of two Rio selection events). And it was an eventful day with some amazing performances!

 

Kristina Broring-Sprehe (Desperados) 81.920%

Isabell Werth (Weihegold) 81.720%

Dorothee Schneider (Showtime) 79.920%

Sonke Rothenberger (Cosmo) 78.080%

Hubertus Schmidt (Imperio) 76.820%

Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (Unee) 76.100%

Isabell Werth (Emilio) 75.960%

Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (Zaire) 75.400%

Anabel Balkenhol (Dablino) 74.060%

Fabienne Lutkemeier (D'Agostino) 73.580%

 

Top 4 are really in the driving seat for the Rio selection. Tomorrow we have Grand Prix Special while Grand Prix Freestyle is scheduled for Sunday. Streams will be available on https://www.clipmyhorse.tv/en/

 

 

In other news, it really looks like sky's the limit for :IRL Judy Reynolds and Vancouver. They improved the Irish GP record by another 1% today (75.240%). That's already the top 10 zone for Rio (more or less). :)

Irish eventing team was selected today... http://www.horsesportireland.ie/horse-sport-ireland-announce-eventing-team-for-rio-olympics/

 

Clare Abbott (Europrince)

Mark Kyle (Jemilla)

Jonty Evans (Cooley Rorke's Drift)

Padraig McCarthy (Simon Porloe or Bernadette Utopia)

 

Reserve: Camilla Speirs (Portersize Just A Jiff)

 

I'm quite surprised with some selections here. Speirs and Jiffy are only the reserve, despite getting a top 10 in Badminton, what a dissapointment! :(

Top dressage rider from Belgium Fanny Verliefden will miss Rio after her horse got injured. :( Belgian quota will most probably go to either Jorinde Verwimp or Jeroen Devroe now.

Looks like Sweden has selected the first two dressage riders in their team.

 

Patrik Kittel (Deja)

Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven (Don Auriello)

 

Tinne is going to her 7th Olympics (first in 1992). :)

    • All Milano-Cortina Olympians are to be find in the first posts of the respective threads just like in this one.
    • Almost sadder than a university hall of residence
    • Big shock as  beat the all-conquering  Men's Team Sprint team in the Heats!
    • sure! in every Italian bedroom you normally have every kind of table, chairs, furniture, tv screen  to me, this really look an unfinished room, you normally don't see such a sad place even when you buy a new house 
    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
