Equestrian at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

First time a non-European nation finished above bronze.

 

USA earned a couple of bronze medals previously, while Canada also has one from 1988.

OBS commentator (who also works for FEI tv) just loves talking over the music in freestyles.

 

And he does it up to the point where it becomes insufferable, mostly since his comments add absolutely nothing of value.

 

So grateful that there is an "ambient sound" option on the ESP player. :yes

The Danish expert commentator started talking a lot but now he mainly speaks when it's really good or really bad.

Really helpful for me as I really don't understand much :p

I approve that kind of commentary. :d

 

But this OBS guy talks about some random previous achievements (or even more random trivia) in the middle of the performance.

How very interesting that Nanna used the same music and the same floorplan Daniel Bachmann Andersen used riding this horse. :d

 

Only Daniel tended to take greater risks in his lines. :p At least that time when he scored over 86%.

:POR Torres did an amazing test. Fantastic highlights and great music. Chapeau! :hatoff: Of course he is currently stuck in a certain judging drawer so he scored accordingly.


Meanwhile Carl Mehster got overscored. Peters should have definitely stayed ahead, if not Merrald.

Milano Cortina 2026 will be their fifth Olympic Games.    * The following are athlete roster adjustments that occurred after their respective sport’s team announcement took place. 
    • https://olympic.ca/press/207-athletes-to-represent-team-canada-at-the-milano-cortina-2026-olympic-winter-games/   Official Canadian press release. 207 athletes as @Topicmaster1010mmentioned earlier.    
    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
    • They can also just count DNSs to handle this specific situation.
    • I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.
    • Olivia Asselin (freestyle skiing)   She was at the X Games competing this week. Another medal hope out the drain, she was in the form of her life 
    • You'd have to ask her simpatic boyfriend from the USA about that, who is often seen at competitions with her participation
    • I think Ro is on a lot of marketing stuff, so I don't imagine USABS would be all that keen on her losing the spot. Perhaps that accounts for their deafening silence.
