So the Belgian euphoria around their first dressage team since Amsterdam 1928 was short lived. :lol:

I suppose that's good news for us. But to be honest I had not realised that both Irish riders were in their 60s so hardly going for the experience. Struggling to avoid last place will be their aim sadly.

Stupid. If Ireland first declined the spot, Belgium should send a team. 

Ireland has a problem for decide? They don't know what they are doing? 

National committee decide here or athlete? Childish game from Ireland.

What a mess. The only people who should be ashamed here is the selectors (i.e. Johann Hinnemann). Fair play to the riders for fighting the decision. Even if they will probably finish last :d. 

 

Poor Belgium, I feel sorry for their riders.

By the way I see it quoted in this article and in eurodressage that it is still questionable whether the Irish will get a slot now since that quota went to Belgium and the deadline has passed. 
 

Quote

"There may still be hope if there are any slots left particularly in circumstances where they say that the withdrawal of the Team by HSI to the FEI  should not have been accepted as only the OFI that  can withdraw a team," said Rawlins' lawyer.  "They are humbled by the support of the nation that has been shown over the last week and really hope that the OFI decide to send a dressage team to the Olympics to ensure all of the work done to get a place does not go to waste."

Dane told Eurodressage, "I doubt we will get into Tokyo now. Maybe we can change things for others in the future."

I guess it can go both ways, but since Ireland earned their slot and finished ahead of Belgium, there is a clear argument that, following the appeal, their place should be reinstated.

 

On the side-note, last year FEI removed a bunch of points from Sri Lanka and awarded a quota to Hong Kong. Sri Lanka appealed successfully to CAS, which resulted in Hong Kong losing their place.

 

(Not to mention how some other federations are perfectly happy to award and rescind quotas as they please)

#LetThemRide is somewhat trending. :d

 

Not just today. The Irish dressage community has been upset about this from the get go.

      Took Day 4 to find the first not working video   Olympic channel really improved their stuff. Last time it was already Day 2 videos      Now as I know and have previous several ineractions with Olympic Channel help desk, I guess this video will be fixed around 13 months after being reported so somewhere by April 2027 you will likely be ready to watch Short Track day 1 competiton

      Maybe half of Americans, but pretty clearly zero members of the men’s team given how the past couple days have gone :/   (and none of them seemed to have any problems making their win very political and an occasion to express pretty blatant sexism)

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2026

      By Gianlu33 · Posted

      Yesterday at 8.40pm, what Italians call “Sanremo Holy Week” began, ending very early at around 1.20am (with controversy attached, as this is finally the last year for this presenter). It wasn't a great edition, with no big favourite singers like Mengoni in 2024 or Giorgia in 2025 (who lost!). After the first evening, it looks like it's going to be a two-horse race, but surprises are just around the corner..   Serena Brancale - Qui con Me (26% winning chances, 2nd partecipation)   Fedez (3rd partecipation, one time runner-up) & Marco Masini (9th partecipation, 2004 champion) - Male Necessario (20% winning chances)
