Mary Hanna will be the traveling reserve. Should she get on the team, she would become the oldest athlete in Paris (as she had been already in both Rio and Tokyo).

 

 

First all-women jumping team at the Olympics since the Sydney 2000 team.

Well for dressage there was a reasonable explanation at the end (weighted average scores).

 

It's the eventing I'm baffled about. Okay, Loach & Golden Eye may be lacking some consistency, but Traisnel & Bacyrouge missing out is pretty insane.

It's bizarre. And in jumping Foster was the highest ranked. In their release they kept saying "Ballard is the second highest women in the rankings" without mentioning first was Foster. 

 

Do you see any chance of a medal for Canada in any of the 6 events?

I haven't been in the loop lately, especially not in jumping, but still I suspect any medal for Canada would be a large surprise.

 

Karl Slezak & Hot Bobo may be able to deliver a nice top 10 or something on a good day.

Still waiting to see if Jessica Springsteen is named to the jumping team.

Juliet Ramel & Buriel are going to their third Olympics together, as it was announced today. An outstanding achievement.
