Equestrian at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[Dragon 2,062]

Have you noticed the US show jumping have included a horse called "Contagious" in their entries.

That could lead to all kinds of misunderstanding...

Yeah. Looks like it might be an administrative error on their part after all. This is very reminiscent of the Pyeonchang bobsleigh fiasco.

There reason why I am the only Slovak in this forum,

 

Slovaks is a people who does not have high sports expectations, we are basically reconciled with the fact that we are only a small country and we cannot have success in sports. Slovaks cares only about Hockey when it comes to sport, even in the respective sport federations people in lead no expect any success, trust me, I guess in the equestrian federation they did not even know the qualification rules for Tokyo because they did not expect any chance to start at the Olympics, actually I would bet on it.

Team Canada named.

 

Honestly, I am shocked that Jessica Phoenix got the nod over Karl Slezak, Hawley Bennett-Awad *and* Lisa Marie Ferguson. Fishy.

 Heike Holstein has been added to the entry list.

 

So it's all settled now, pending the appeal.

Love this quote from  Dina Ellermann.

 

"One of our prominent jumping riders has a famous quote from a few years ago," Ellermann explained. "He said that it will be more likely for an Estonian to go to the Moon than for an Estonian equestrian to go to the Olympics. This will be the most perfect way to prove him wrong!"
