Well, now we know why :BLR Belarus declined their Tokyo qualification in dressage.


Olga Safronova is anti-Lukashenko, so the state-sponsored veterinarians deemed her horse unfit for Tokyo and thus ended her dream. She has defected to Poland since.

:GER Isabell Werth has announced she plans to retire after Paris.

 

Should she win one gold medal there, she would become the 6th most decorated Olympian of all time.

 

And with two golds, she would potentially climb to 3rd all-time, behind Phelps and Latynina...

Šamorín x-bionic resort will replace New York & Shanghai Global Champions Tour finals

On the sidenote, I stumbled onto this today which finally confirms beyond any doubt that it was a simple, dumb mistake which prevented a Slovak equestrian debut in Tokyo. :facepalm::(

But... Floretto appears to be his second iron for Paris, and quite a promising one so far... It's already officially listed as Slovak-owned so no worries there.

CHIO Aachen is being held this week.

 

:USA Will Coleman won the eventing aboard Off the Record. They also helped Team USA to the second place finish, just 0.3 penalties behind Gee Bee.

 

Sure, not the strongest Aachen (usually it's held in July), but this is a pretty significant result for the USA. Easily the biggest success in a very, very long time (10+ years) for this once powerhouse of a nation...

Standings after dressage at the European Championships...

 

Individual - https://live.rechenstelle.de/2021/avenches_09/leaderboard01.html

Team - https://live.rechenstelle.de/2021/avenches_09/nationcup01.html

 

Absolutely hilarious scores. It's almost as if these athletes peaked for the scrapped-up European Championships instead of the Olympics. :yikes: :roflmao: Eventing dressage is nuts.

 

Hopefully the cross-country will be at least somewhat challenging, but I am not exactly holding my hopes up given some recent championships...

I don't know about the other countries but none of the British competitors were in the team that won the Olympic gold medal so maybe they really did peak for the EC. 😊

:USA Boyd Martin beats :GBR Oliver Townend by 0.1 pens to win the inaugural Maryland 5* !

 

First American winner of a five-star event since 2008. What a crazy couple of months for the American eventing. It's a renaissance officially.

Riesebeck will host the 2023 European Dressage Championships, meaning Germany will get to host it twice in a row.

 

Normally, the Iberian peninsula would have been the prime candidate, but both Spain and Portugal withdrew their bids late in the process, so there you go.

    • really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
