:NZL New Zealand has named its eventing team.

Still gutted that Clarke Johnstone had to be scratched. :(

 

Still, not a bad team (as if any team with Jonelle Price could be considered bad), however there are some unexpected selections. They chose McClaren for Mark Todd? One could argue that's his 4th best horse, or at least 3rd! His nominally better horses have been named as reserves. Blyth and Dan are not bad (hell, Blyth was an Olympic champion), but still I can see them bringing troubles to NZ based on current form. :zip:

Only 60% for Dittmann in Cappeln today...

 

So this means the Group F team spot will be left unclaimed at WEG, as instead a special Group F qualifying event will be organized next year. Perhaps that's for the best, as instead of getting a spot by default, :RSA South Africa might actually face some competition (mainly from :PLE Palestine, possibly from :MAR Morocco).

:POR Portugal has named its WEG team. They will compete in dressage, jumping, para-dressage and endurance.

:BEL Belgium team for WEG... https://www.equibel.be/nl/2018/08/10/selecties-world-equestrian-games-tryon/

 

Jumping team is their main hope. Eventers are not bad, but they lack experience. Dressage once again looks promising on paper, but Belgians always manage to screw up their chances. :rolleyes:

:GER Isabell Werth apparently wants Bella Rose to be her WEG horse (the one that was sidelined through injury between November 2014 and July 2018). Right now they are improving with each show.

 

But it will be up to the German selectors to choose Werth's mount...

@dcro Do you have any news about who will compete in Polish team at this event? I checked our federation site but there is no news about WEG...

 

I can't find anything.

 

Tomorrow is the entries deadline so hopefully we will know all of them soon. :yes

I won't be surprised if we won't send anybody. This year the federation created such hard (and according to athletes controversial) conditions to be in wide national team, that there is very few athletes.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • 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 ,
