Legendary Brazilian rider Rodrigo Pessoa has been named the new Chef d'Eauipe of Irish Showjumping. Really excited to see what he can bring to the table. Hopefully he can finally bring some consistency from the Irish team who have been underperforming hugely for over a decade. Robert Splaine held that position for far too long in my opinion without merit. Hopefully progress will follow :)

Good news, fresh team manager can often make a difference. :)

Entry list for Jumping World Cup Finals is out too. 39 athletes from 19 nations will compete. :)

 

The most interesting name I see is :FRA Eric Navet. Olympic medalist and multiple World champion from the 90s. He pretty much hasn't been around at all since 2004 Olympics and now he's back. :d His only other previous appearance at the WC finals was in 1992.

Next week the Dressage Nations Cup season starts in Wellington, FL. Only three teams start - :USA , :CAN and :ESP . According to rules there shall be at least four teams for CDIO, so I am not sure, if this event will be counted to the overall classification.

Yeah, it probably won't give points towards the overall rankings.

 

Shame. Australian Federation is to blame really. They initially didn't allow their team to enter as they didn't fulfill federation's "criteria". Few days after they reversed the decision, but to no awail as the entries were already closed. :facepalm:

Surprise after the first day of Dressage Nations Cup in Wellington, FL. Canada is leading over USA. :woot:

 

That's very much thanks to Canadian husband-wife team members, Jaimey and Tina Irwin. :) Tomorrow is the second and deciding day.

Canadians pulled it off. :yikes: They were slightly behind USA before their last rider entered, but Megan Lane did enough in a tight finish.

 

That's the first ever Nations Cup victory for team Canada. :yes

Great result for Canada!

 

I keep dreaming that one day, Mexico will field a complete dressage team to WCH or OG

 

That would be cool. :) Mexico has a solid base of small tour riders that do relatively well at regional games, but unfortunately, not many of them make transition to the big tour (Grand Prix) level.

 

On the other hand, prospects of a Mexican team in eventing are looking more promising after Karen O'Connor became a coach recently. Daniela Moguel improved big time over the last 12 months and can possibly do really well at the upcoming Rolex Kentucky next month (the "US Open" of eventing). Few weeks ago she was 5th at 3* in Florida, which had some big names.

    • 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.
