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

Yes, currently in 6th place with 70.6%, ahead of Brazilian Joao Oliva.

 

Of course, she performed to Tango music. :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%

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
