Hugely impressive win for :IRL Michael McNally & Eclipto in Millstreet today. His second 4* win of the year.

This puts the Irish selectors in an interesting position. Should they or should they not take a gamble with this new, but promising combination?

As expected, the British eventing selection-observation event in Bicton is quickly turning into a total bloodbath. :d

 

Athletes must be losing their minds, as something as simple as having one rail down in show jumping can make all the difference between staying at home and going to the Olympics.

 

Specifically, Piggy March and Laura Collett had an unexpected error. Are they out now?? Who can tell.

Run-out for :IRL Padraig McCarthy & Leonidas in Bicton... Most likely no Olympics for the World silver medalist (individual+team)...

 

That is, unless those silver medals give him a benefit of the doubt, but the doubt here is pretty big.

This week, Luhmuhlen is hosting the last CCI5* eventing competition before the Olympics.

 

Riders from :AUS:AUT:BEL:CHN:DEN:FIN:FRA:GER:GBR:IRL:ITA:JPN:LTU:NED:NZL:NOR:POL:SWE:SUI:USA will participate.

 

A lot of late withdrawals from the UK after Germany imposed new travel restrictions. Those restrictions were later lifted, but too late.

Here we are, European Championships for Olympic disciplines will be held in a matter of weeks in September. They will be hosted by :GER Hagen (dressage), :GER Riesenbeck (jumping) and :SUI Avenches (eventing).

 

It's really unusual to have two major, season-concluding championships in one year, but there you go. Nations who failed to qualify teams/individuals for Tokyo insisted on holding these events, and it seems like a lot of big nations are interested as well and will be attending in full force. Should be interesting.

Sweden will only send 1/6th of the gold medal winning jumping team from Tokyo. Fredriksson will be there but with another horse. But he win with this other borde in the Global Champions Tour yesterday so I guess it is a decent horse as well

    • The problem is XD is a fun event, but its essentially a social event, and lags far behind the others both at Grand Slams and Olympics - no quotas of its own, very limited prize money - as the indivisual Olympic tennis has got more and more important, the top players have limited thhier doubles participation to the main M and W D.   a team format, however, gets some fo that BJK/Davis cup magic, and because it'll b enovel, they can REALLY mess around with it - for example, a three set match could consists of MS first set, WS second and, if needed mixed doubles decider - light work load and quick competition. could play three matches a day if needed   Would not be incredibly shocked if BOTH golf and tennis adopted a quickfire 'Olympic' format - Singles, singles, doubles - (In golf it would be 9 hole matchplay with sets replaced with 9 hole matches, and the order men's indi, women's indi, mixed foursome   On Compound, nice to see it but odd too for GB - Ella Gibson is one of the outstanding shooters of her time, but GBR don't seem to have a male compound shooter worth a candle   On voluntary team sports (Flag football, cricket, lacrosse) I smell a rankings heavy approach with continental rep limited to 3 - though they may be real sneaky with cricket and go host (USA), Euro 1(GBR), Oceania 1(Aus), Asia (1)(India) Africa 1(South Africa) and Final Qualifier 1, heavily loaded with Asia and West Indies individual teams, perhaps Ireland and New Zealand for the appearance of balance.   The Iroquois question still unresolved. GBR would be a rankings pick in everything bar men's flag football   Wonder about the Team gymnastics - Super quick fire high peril format maybe of just one gymnast per apparatus, with the floor and vault reserved to the women so each sex provide only 4 scores - would make it feel different to the existing team events, and make USA a less guaranteed gold. Qualifiation by highest score in overall Q in each event - even if that score comes from same athlete in multiple events
    • i'm too  emotionally drained to really write all the pr's right now so safe to say there were a number of them.good night,happy i don't have to have heart attacks till sunday.
    • Eammanoul sousa wins flight 2 with 67.51 a huge 3 meter personal best and extension of his national record.
    • https://worldboxing.org/ioc-confirms-gender-parity-in-boxing-at-la28-with-seven-weight-classes-for-both-men-and-women/       Well I didn't see this coming but eh world boxing have gotten rid of men's flyweight!!!!! Non Olympics weights are now 50kg, 75kg and 85kg for the men and 48kg, 80kg and 80+kg for the women. I think it is good news that they haven't added womens heavyweight but men's flyweight being gone is a shocker especially for "smaller" nations. In Rio like we had both 49 and 52kg below 56kg but now flyweight is gone completely. I mean it is tricky to have 10 weightclasses and then have only 7 for the Olympics and for both the 10 and the 7 to be evenly spaced out but like im very surprised that its flyweight thats gone and not one of 55,60,65kg. To be honest selfishly from an Irish perspective at least for this cycle I don't hate it but flyweight was one of the most competitive divisions so it being gone will hurt the weaker (well i couldn't make the small joke twice) boxing countries.   Just for context the Paris weights were (M51, M57, M63.5, M71, M80, M92 and M92+ and then W50, W54, W57, W60, W66, W75)
    • results are being posted now dimitris pavlidis of greece 63.55
    • That's why they only offered 750 points to the winner as an initial compromise. If you were the 4th/5th best player in your nation and were not selected due to NOC limits and you cared about points you would be better off competing at a different event at the same time. With a depleted field you'd likely earn more points there anyway.   It was more because ATP/WTA tournaments held at the same time were losing out on players and thus attendance for the tournaments were low.
