Equestrian FEI World Games 2018

Apparently publishing the list of nominated entries is a complex socioeconomic activity that requires a great deal of analysis and planning...

 

Too bad, since otherwise FEI is having quite comprehensive WEG microsite. Something we can only dream for with many other federations. :p

:GER German jumping team:

Laura Klaphake (Catch me if you can)

Marcus Ehning (Pret a tout or Comme il Faut)

Maurice Tebbel (Chaccos' Son or Don Diarado)

Simone Blum (DSP Alice)

Reserve: Hans-Dieter Dreher (Belinda)

 

No surprises, maybe except for Dreher being nominated as reserve instead of Weishaupt.

Let's see what this team can do without Ahlmann, Deußer and Michaels-Beerbaum.

American show jumping team.

 

No idea how Sternlicht got a place. Not sure about Kraut either. Beezie is the reserve. McLain the top prospect. Devin continues his fairytale season.

How high is Bruce Springsteen's daughter on the US pecking order? :cool: Is she even Top 20? She'd probably be Top 3 in Poland :p

 

She is 11th ranked American right now, significantly in front of Georgina Bloomberg and Jennifer Gates. :p

Interesting to note that none of the nominated german show jumpers except for Ehning is ranked top 100 in the world:

Tebbel is 105th, Klaphake is 143rd and Blum is 151st

Why no Kent Farrington?

I hope that Adrienne Sternlicht will be nominated (for obvious reasons). Just a shame that they all have to wear helmets, i think if FEI would allow them to ride without helmets, riding would win a lot of younger fans. Do you know whether she is related to Barry Sternlicht? If so, this would be another very interesting person in show jumping (after Georgina Bloomberg and Jessica Springsteen). By the way, her last name means something like "starlight" in german (Stern = star, Licht = light) ...

Very happy to see that american officials listened to me ...

Adrienne is Barry's daughter... so I guess we know why Kent Farrington is out? Some billionaire has enough money to bankroll his child's hobby. How suitable :p

No, he withdrew himself from the short list, citing that he won't be able to reach full fitness by WEG following an injury.

    • 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)
