Some great scores were achieved at today's WC Grand Prix in Florida (3rd week of Global Dressage Festival). Including 68.920% for :ARG Manfredi. :woot: Now that is surely Argentinian record and a great boost for them. :)

 

Apart from Florida World Cup, we also have WC in Amsterdam and jumping WC in Zurich this weekend.

Isabell Werth & Weihegold victorious in Amsterdam with 90.720% :bowdown: Great highlight for otherwise anti-climactic competition. :p

 

Btw, five Dutch riders in top 8 but none of them on podium. :lol:

Michael Jung has published his competition plan for the season.

 

Major competitions

Rolex Kentucky - Rocana and Takinou

Badminton Horse Trials - Sam

European Championships - Lennox (!!)

 

His (current) selection for the Europeans is 9-year old Lennox, who still hasn't competed in a single 3* competition! If Jung can pull this of then there's really no doubt about who's the best event rider ever. :bowdown:

What a jump-off in Bordeaux WC. :d Four of the former/current World No. 1 riders knocked the same fence down! And that fence wasn't knocked by anyone in the initial round. :yikes:

 

This caused a very much surprising podium with :FRA Epaillard as the winner.

 

Also, it appears as though :GER Guido Klatte and :AUT Max Kuhner have now secured their tickets for the WC final. On the other hand, some top names are really struggling to secure their places, and they have only one more chance at the last qualifier in Gothenburg later this month!

New Zealand's Wendi Williamson & Dejavu have won the Asia/Pacific regional final in dressage last weekend and have thus qualified for the WC final in Omaha.

 

This is the first time in history of WC (established in 1986) that a Kiwi rider has qualified for final. However, going all the way to Nebraska for one competition is not an easy decision for her, but hopefully she will go. :cheer:

 

In any case, New Zealand is building a very nice team in dressage, they will certainly turn a few heads at the WEG next year. :)

    • The only ones complaining about the short track refs are Italians, imo. Not even on this forum, but in general, from what I've been seeing on live chats and other social media sites. That says a lot to be honest. I suspect it's partially due to them not performing to the high standard they're expected to perform at especially at the Olympics. The refs make a lot of mistakes for everyone, there's no bias against or towards anyone    Plus, Italy have won 6 medals already.... the most you've won at a Worlds since 2016.
    • For me they gave Canada the gold in the relay in exchange for a 1000-meter dsq gold for Dandjinou, that's how I see it. It was a battle between Kor and Can on 2 of this case. It's hard to say why that last dsq for Kor was in relay? Of course, Italy win bronze thanks for that, but that's not really important. It would have been better if the referees had just stayed out of the results and left it as it was decided for fight on the ice.

    • the quata for europe or australia is from the primer 12, where the top 20 teams will participate, sadly  is the 21th team so the only slight chance for us in my opinion is if: we get top 2 at the european championship (not including  hopefully if they get the quata), then somehow win the final qualification tournament against i assume  and one of    the chances for us are slim, i think about 4 other team sports  have a better chance in in my opinion(and the most team sports we ever had was one, and it was the last two time after a long time )

    • well, Cuba and Venezuela for sure...   Iran is a different question, but I hope in 2 years all this war shit is done and dusted and at least in the sports world everything is gonna be OK 
    • In my opinion the Italian team has been playing above expectations since last year after several years of decline. Last year, we advanced to the first division at the European Championships and now they're playing very close matches against the strong India and Scotland. We a little miss a potential to do more – we are only 18th in the world rankings. Our men's team's performance in this sport is much weaker.
    • I wonder if all Cuba, Iran and Venezuela will be able to travel and compete in LA at all... Hopefully that yes.
