@dcro, which nations could fight for the second team spot in the Pan American Games? Of course if they manage to qualify three riders.

Not sure if you're talking about dressage or eventing, so I'll do both. :p

 

In dressage, Brazil should be the favorite for the second spot, but their level is dropping, so Mexico and Argentina should definitely have a chance for a surprise.

 

In eventing it very much depends on how many teams qualify here. It's quite possible that none of the American teams will make it (USA has been anything but consistent over XC in recent years, even though they'll be very determined this time), in that case it will be USA and CAN as the favorites. If USA makes it, then it will be hard to beat CAN and BRA. Finally, if two teams make it here, then Ecuador will have a very good chance.

There was veterinary inspection after the Dressage test? I don't understand the injury of Gonzalo Blasco for the Cross-Country ...

Something happened to Blasco? There is no inspection after the dressage, so if something happened then it was a withdrawal.

A detail from Isabell Werth's scoring card from yesterday.

It was funny when commentator Karen Pavicic gasped "9.9 for transitions. Unbelieveable." :d

And has now been euthanized...

 

Indeed, everything looked ok with the horse until it suddenly happened. Probably the combination of travel stress, age (extremely old for this kind of competition), race and unscheduled break after the first loop played part...

Fences 23A and 24B have been removed apparently.

 

Also, this will be the first time that the show jumping stage will not be held a day after XC since Los Angeles 1984.

    • Men´s Division II Group A World Championship schedulled in Al-Ain this year has been cancelled   So the ranking will be frozen and no team will be promoted to I B / Relegated this year from I B and promoted from II B / Relegated to II B   https://www.iihf.com/en/news/72580/2026_iihf_wmiia_championship_cancelled   The 2026 IIHF World Championship Division II Group A (WMIIA), originally scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates, has been cancelled following a decision by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).   As a result, promotion and relegation for the WMIIA Championship will be frozen for the 2026 season.

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night
