Do we know for sure now that Ireland won't send a dressage team and Belgium gets the spot or are we still pending some decision?

I thought it was over once Dane Rawlins wrote: "We lost. Thanks for the support. Time to move on.", following the second appeal this Friday.

But apparently, with only 24 hours to go, Dressage Ireland have called upon the Irish Minister of Sport to intervene. What a mess.

So we should know by tomorrow at the latest.

Apparently it took CAS ONE (1) day to dismiss Dinja van Liere's appeal regarding Hermes' (wrong) nationality.

@phelps So Jessica is going after all (though, potentially, only as a reserve - which is to be named from these four).

 

Looks like the selectors left only one spot for those less experienced. I would have preferred to see Lucy Deslauriers, and especially Brian Moggre, but these two ended up as picks #5-6.

 Brazil - Team Jumping

 

Luiz Francisco Azevedo - Comic

Marlon Zanotelli - VDL Edgar

Rodrigo Pessoa - Carlitos Way

Yuri Mansur - QH Alfons Santo Antonio

(the reserve will be decided)

 

Pessoa is going for his 7th Olympic Games.

Pawlak is a bad choice :/

For me she is the best* choice. Olympics are not a dressage competition. She will be a worthy trail-blazer.

 

*Next to Spisak, who is however more unpredictable. With some luck, he could score Top 10, but then again, he may not complete...
