McLain Ward is a machine. :bowdown: Second stage - second victory. :bowdown: In the six-horses jump-off, Ward defeated second placed :BEL Gregory Wathelet by 3 seconds!

 

Today is a rest day for jumpers ahead of the big final on Sunday. Points accumulated over the first two stages are converted into starting penalties for the big final. Only Wathelet and Duguet are within one pole of Ward.

 

There was a funny interview going on with 10 riders to go in the initial round. They interviewed :GER Marcus Ehning, the only one who made jump-off at that point.

Journalist: "Let's see who will join you in the jump-off."

Ehning: "I hope nobody." :lol:

 

 

@Vojthas Do you know why :POL Kubiak got disqualified?

According to the Eurodressage's solo traveler, the best things to see in Omaha are the red brick warehouses. :d

So we are at the juding break.

 

:NED Madeleine Witte-Vrees & Cennin - One spook right at the start, but quite good. Leader with 79%

:AUS Kristy Oatley & Du Soleil - Very cool performance. Also one bigger spook... Arena is very atmospheric today in Omaha. Second so far with 75%

:USA Steffen Peters & Rosamunde - So many mistakes. To be honest, Rosamunde is a very new horse, but at the moment she is more weird than good. Third so far with 75%

:DEN Mai Tofte Olesen & Rustique - My personal favourite so far. She added A LOT of difficulty to her freestyle, and it worked perfectly! Personal best score of 74%

She was very emotional, hugging her son as she finished the ride. And rightly so, she worked really hard to be here. This is from her FEI profile...

:SUI Marcela Krinke-Susmelj & Smeyers Molberg - Just not their day. She changed her freestyle in the middle of the test. 74%

:ARG Maria Florencia Manfredi & Bandurria Kacero - She is having a blast here in Omaha. "It's a week of my life." 70%

:BRA Joao Victor Oliva & Xama dos Pinhais - Several mistakes. 70%

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
