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.

    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.
