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). :)

    • The 101st edition of the 90km long Vasaloppet is going on right now with 15800 skiiers. https://www.svt.se/sport/vintersport/vinterstudion-20242025-folj-sasongens-tavlingar-och-fa-senaste-nytt  
    • I don't like Zelensky much either, but Trump is a complete idiot. I don't understand why they didn't exclude him from politics after 2020. Apparently Biden was too weak for such moves. In difficult times, professional politicians should rule, not celebrities like Trump or Zelensky. Macron is probably the one I like the most out of this group in Europe/Atlantic World right now, while Obama and even Bush Jr. were statesmen compared to Trump.
    • 2nd qualification pool set to get underway tomorrow.    Brazil,  China,  Colombia, and  Germany will be competing for the final two spots in the main tournament.

    • few observations on the first major tournament:   live score board (on screen) needs some improvements such as: the fencing piste colours are consistently wrong between the scoreboard and real game (the red and green colours) shooting screen in combined phase is very bad, time is stuck or continue even when the player finished, also the green (good shot dots) are not always working at the beginning I didn't like the score board on the left hand side but later I got used to it which is not bad in my opinion now. showing the the round in fencing will be beneficial to understand is it QF, R 16 ..etc and expect the score accordingly the fencing screen in the left hand side is confusing  (location of the score compared to name is not very clear) and it's more confusing when you notice that the colour is wrongly switched (see first point) Obstacles is fun to watch (I wasn't expecting that) and young athletes are taking it to very high leve,. also surprised with some good actions from experienced athletes such as Belaud, Shabaan & Gulyas.   Equestrian was not fair but more thrilling, here Obstacles is more fair and not boring. Personally, I liked Equestrian more but I can understand why obstacles is more favourable for some others.   new scoring of fencing is better, even difference in points was adjusted to become more close to swimming weight (main deciders now are obstacles and combined).   waiting Fencing World Ranking list to know how does it work and how they calculate this new ranking.
