Wow. This is the horse that need to be ridden by Lesun, but according to the rules Russian is not allowed to change this horse as it does not meet the criteria. If we will see Lesun with the different horse - something will be really shady.

So what exactly would have had to happen for Lesun to be allowed to change horse?

I think (and hope) that they'll never remove an historycal sport. Pentathlon is a core sport, he joined at the Olympics in 1912 and he was created by Pierre De Coubertaine for the Olympic Games.

Modern Pentathlon is such a farce of a sport, IMO... Also, the riding segment just seems unecessarely dangerous for both horse and rider.

The only criteria that is still left after warm-up time - Czech had to be eliminated for 4 refusals while now Czech dude was eliminated for 2 falls and 2-fall-rule is not eligible criteria to change the horse. I don't know now what Lesun's team will try to do, because I'm sure they will try to appeal somehow anyway.

I love the idea of a competition with such different sports, but they could change the show jumping for a non-animal element..

 

Now you've got 4 things which are yours to control, and a lottery hoping you get a good horse..that's just not fair.

I'm totally agree on that. Maybe when they had their own trained horses in the past it was more appropriate, but nowadays is just ruining everything. I'm just not sure what they should add instead of horse riding. Maybe cycling but then is too similar to triathlon. Although I wouldn't mind just 4 elements on it's own.

Yeah. UIPM thought this way the sport will develop more in minor countries

I believe it is Coubertin's idea. "Best soldiers should be able to ride an unfamiliar horse on the battlefield".

      Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
