Interesting read about :RSA show jumper Lisa Williams. Unlike the other South African representatives who are longstanding citizens of Europe/North America, Lisa is based in South Africa. And indeed, transporting a horse from South Africa to Europe is a herculean effort...

Her horse had to spend 3 months on :MRI Mauritius!!! She literally trained on a driveway.

 

And to think that some (privileged) nations refuse to send people just because they can't win medals...

Wasn't South Africa refusing Olympic quota because they didn't deem teams good enough? :p

Well yeah, they have practiced such measures too. :p Still, looking at what Lisa had to do to reach Europe, it amazes me how some federations are simply too cheap or something to buy couple of extra plane tickets.

 

I was talking about WEG in general too, like France deciding to withdraw from dressage because they didn't believe they can win an Olympic spot. That caused a lot of anger among their riders, who've been building for WEG for a whole year.

All-time medal table:

I wonder if we could have a first time medalist in Tryon. I guess these nations should have a chance:

 

:BRN Bahrain - endurance

:COL Colombia - jumping, vaulting

:EGY Egypt - jumping

:ISR Israel - jumping

:JPN Japan - eventing, para-dressage

:LAT Latvia - para-dressage

:MEX Mexico - jumping

:OMA Oman - endurance

:URU Uruguay - endurance

 

Some of these are very much outsiders, but hopefully at least one of them willl make it!

      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.

      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.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      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
