Equestrian FEI World Games 2018

:IRL Irish eventing team has been named... No Jonty Evans for obvious reasons.

 

Team:

  • Tipperary’s Padraig McCarthy with Mr Chunky, owned by Christopher and Sarita Perkins, Huw Lloyd and Lucy Wiegersma
  • Kildare’s Aoife Clark with Fernhill Adventure (ISH), owned by Richard Last and Aoife Clark
  • Galway’s Cathal Daniels with Rioghan Rua (ISH), owned by Margaret Kinsella
  • Meath’s Sarah Ennis with Horseware Stellor Rebound (ISH), owned by Horseware Products Ltd, Niki Potterton and Orla Ennis
  • Carlow’s Sam Watson and Horseware Ardagh Highlight (ISH), owned by Belinda Keir

Five reserves have also been named in the following order:

  • 1st  Tim Bourke with Luckaun Quality (ISH)
  • 2nd Patricia Ryan with Dunrath Eclipse (ISH)
  • 3rd Joseph Murphy with Sportsfield Othello (ISH)
  • 4th  Ciaran Glynn with November Night (ISH) (TIH)
  • 5th  Clare Abbott with Euro Prince (ISH)

 

Really, Tim Bourke & Luckaun Quality only the reserves? :( That's a hardcore Irish eventing combination that very much excels in cross-country. They are much more reliable than Clark & Fernhill Adventure and Ennis & Stellor Rebound...

 

All but one listed horses are ISH. :d

 

In any case, hopefully @OlympicIRL will be celebrating first Irish Olympic spots with this team. :cheer:

Patrizia Attinger (Hilton P)

Robin Goddel (Grandeur de Lully CH)

Ben Vogg (Noe des Vatys)

Felix Vogg (Colero)

 

Ben Vogg & Noe des Vatys' palmares keeps expanding! They are the only combination in history of the sport that competed at Junior/Young Rider championships as well as all three senior championships (ContCh, WEG, OG). :bowdown:

2010 European Junior Championships

2011, 2012, 2013 European Young Rider Championships

2014 World Equestrian Games

2015, 2017 European Championships

2016 Olympic Games

 

Also we have a shortlist for the :USA show jumping team.

:AUS Australia has named its dressage team

 

Mary Hanna (Boogie Woogie)

Alexis Hellyer (Bluefields Floreno)

Kristy Oatley (Du Soleil)

Brett Parberry (DP Weltmieser)

 

 

:NZL New Zealand has named its dressage individuals

 

Julie Brougham (Vom Feinsten)

John Thompson (Antonello)

 

 

So, since Japan is prequalified and New Zealand decided not send a team, Australia is basically guaranteed to get the Group G team spot for Tokyo.

National selection processes are now in full swing. :DEN Denmark announced their dressage team long list.

 

Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy)

Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack or Blue Hors Zepter)

Anna Zibrandtsen (Arlando)

Rikke Svane (Finckenstein)

Anders Dahl (Selten HW)

Anna Kasprzak (Rock Star)

Victoria Vallentin (Ludwig der Sonnenkonig)

Bettina Jager (Belstaff)

 

As expected, for the first time since 2011 Europeans Kasprzak's Donnperignon won't be on the team. Also no Agnete Kirk Thinggaard this time.

 

Dufour and Bachmann Andersen (on Zepter) could both be scoring over 80% by the WEG, which is quite exciting for Danish chances. However, their 3rd counting rider may be their undoing medal-wise...

 

And it ended up with Cathrine Dufour (Atterupgaards Cassidy), Daniel Bachmann Andersen (Blue Hors Zack), Anders Dahl (Selten HW) and Betina Jæger Jensen (Mane Stream Belstaff)

Thanks for the update! :yes

 

Sadly, it looks like Zibrandtsen's withdrawal during Aachen was more serious than it looked. :( Without her, Danish medal chances are likely gone as Dahl is quite inconsistent while Jaeger & Belstaff very inexperienced (they literally have only two Grand Prix internationals on record, although with decent scores).

Don't know how serious it was with Zibrandtsen as she has been selected as first reserve with Rikke Svane as second.

Well, that's odd. Maybe elimination in Uggerhalne + withdrawal in Aachen played part. Otherwise I've got no idea how Dahl would be picked over her.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
