In dressage Germany is the favorite for gold, especially after the form their riders shown at the German championships. As in most sports, World rankings are not the best reference. The key of German

Exactly. We are so used to having "dressage" competition these days while in reality eventing should be   1) cross-country 2) dressage 3) jumping   One of the greats of e

Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

So a good result is almost impossible. Guerdat already won a gold and has been caught doping, Lamaze also already won a gold and GB just doesnt deserve a gold here, considering how bad their team was. I hope that the guys from Qatar, Sweden and the US will win the medals, but that seems very unlikely. At least Skelton/Lamaze shouldnt win the gold here.

Aah damn it, Dubbeldam misses out on a gold medal chance by 0,02 seconds in the very last competition before being forced to say goodbye to his horse due to idiotic business stuff :(

Skelton is lucky that rules changed so he could win despite having fence down in all qualification rounds.

What a horrible results, now even british grandpas win gold medals, this is very bad for the sport. I dont get why we have 4 rounds for teams but only 2 rounds for individuals, everyone knew that we would get completely random medallists by having only 2 rounds, with a first very easy round.

I didn't watch the showjumping this time.... @dcro would you say the course was a bit "easy" this time for an Olympic Games? Usually there are very few clear rounds.

How is that bad for the sport?
I think it's a beauty of the sport!

      Barring any further surprises, which are always possible in Val Gardena, this would be the Czech Republic's first men's victory in the World Cup. In the past, there have been six women's victories and one mixed team victory in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2010.

      Curling WC Olympic Qualification Event 2025

      By Jan Linha · Posted

      Well, I see that the national competition between mixed doubles and also men increased. Also actually amongst women, too. Before it was mostly Kubeskova team that participated in some international events. This year, Synackova team did really well in the pre-qualification just the final qualification was not that good. But curling is about details. Generally, I am glad to see that there is really much higher competition than it was 10 years ago. And seeing Chabickovsky a Zelingerova making it to the Olympics in such a young age can be really promising for their career as curling is becoming more professional, as we see Grand Slams and other big tournaments.    As for now, I think that in Milano Team Klima and mixed doubles can make really interesting results. After all, they will finish in top 10 so just qualifying to the Games is already a huge achievement
