That's terrible really, how can there be such a huge difference?

 

Looking at the score sheet, she didn't go above 8.0 for any movement, while everyone else gave some 8.5-9.0. She also gave a lot of 7s compared to 8s from others, so eventually it racks up. It's consistent low scoring.

 

I guess it was it a combination of not praising good work and searching for mistakes where there aren't any...  :dunno: Probably related to Kasey being an underdog...

 

Spoiler

Part of the score sheet...

If she was consistently harsh on all riders then that would be at least something, but she was much more generous with others it seems.

Later today, starting at 21:30, there is a "Jump'n'Drive" competition. :d No idea how it works exactly, but apparently it's a team competition with one show jumper, one eventer and one driver per team. It should be intriguing. :d

"He and his twin brother Olivier are both sons of Ludo Philippaerts."


Interesting use of word "both". But yes, twins usually have the same parents. :p

Do german fans have to worry about eventing and dressage? Surprisingly jumping was the best event for Germany in Aachen and the german team looked more than vulnerable in eventing/dressage. Where are Sprehe, Rothenberger, Auffahrt and Jung? Would you still call the german eventing team (Jung, Auffahrt, Krajewski, Hoy/Klimke) favorites for the WEG and what about the dressage team?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Dressage team looks quite fine. Rothenberger withdrew from Aachen due to slight infection that Cosmo got. He should be safe for Tryon, where he could as well take both team and individual golds. It's similar with Werth who withdrew Weihegold from Aachen and entered Emilio/Bella Rose instead (Bella Rose is finally back after 3.5 years!). Sprehe withdrew Desperados from both German championships last month and now Aachen, so I'd say she's probably out of it. But she may not be needed as Rothenberger, Werth, Langehanenberg + one of Schneider/von Bredow-Werndl should be big favorites.

 

As for eventing, I don't think Germany is the favorite at this point. Jung is having a poor season (already 2017 was quite poor for his standards). Klimke could be the best, though she had a refusal in Aachen. Krajewski has some good wins this season (Bramham, German championships, Aachen), but she is yet to do anything at the championships. Aside from those three, there isn't much depth in German eventing. I doubt Sandra Auffarth will be going, as these days it seems like she is mainly building a team of younger horses. Kai Ruder looked good in recent times, but not so much in Aachen. Hoy has decided not to chase team selection anymore at the start of 2018.

Thanks, so indeed a worrying state german eventing is in, you dont think Auffarth will be back for 2020? Dujardin also plans to come back, do you think she will become a dominant force again?

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
