Equestrian FEI Eventing European Championships 2017


Recommended Posts

Forgive me for using this expression, but it's the first time since 1973 that "Eastern" Europe will be hosting this event. :d Yeah, I know Poland isn't officially Eastern European nation, but more Eastern than Germany in any case. :p

 

Anyway, Nominated Entries have been published. These also include all the reserves, but the teams can choose the max of 6 athletes (4 team members + 2 individuals only). Some have already chosen their definite teams (can be checked here).

 

19 nations competing, a more diverse field than 2 years ago. :CZE:HUN:NOR are appearing after a long absence, Norway possibly first time ever (sadly there are no such records to check).

So, French Olympic gold medal team is pretty much in tatters this year.

 

Astier Nicolas - sidelined after breaking his leg

Mathieu Lemoine - lost his horse after the Olympics

Karim Laghouag - failed to reach minimum eligibility standards with his Olympic horse:facepalm:

 

This leaves Thibaut Vallette as the only "surviving" member of that team. And yet, he is having a miserable year himself after picking cross-country jumping penalties in both of his competitions this year... However, I do expect some joy for France here. Maybe not in the team event, but Thomas Carlile & Upsilon might as well be the biggest candidates for the individual gold at the moment, a VERY exciting combination. The only thing that could bring them down is lack of experience I guess.

Looking this way Germany is also Eastern as it's more Eastern than France. Just in case you forgot Berlin was an Eastern city too. :p

Well, in any case, I'm happy to see Poland hosting the event. :) Hopefully the home team will be inspired to do well, they have been struggling at the championship level for a while now unfortunately.

@OlympicIRL Only 63k to go for Jonty! :woot: It's happening. :d Glad that they should be able to attend Europeans now.

 

Wow!! Fantastic!! :woot:

There was a 6-figure donation made today :bowdown:

 

Competing at the Europeans will be a big bonus even if their performance will probably be a little off (due to all energies in recent weeks being devoted to fundraising and a very stressful period for Jonty).

83% of the way to the target, "just" another £63,000 to reach with 4 days to go :fingers:

Jonty & Art will miss the Europeans. :( Well, I guess it was expected since he spent much of his time in the exhausting crowd funding campaign. Important thing is that they'll stay together.

And here are the last set of definite entries that were published today. There were 4 withdrawals in total: :IRL Evans, :FIN Siltakorpi, :FIN Jankari and :RUS Atrokhov. This leaves Finland at just one individual, instead of a 3-members team.

 

Championships start on Thursday.

    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.
