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.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
