It should be quite unpredictable with 6+ spots on offer in each event but I'll give it a go.   Dressage - + Top 6 countries seem to be the firm favorites at the moment, however Spain w

So that would be 2 hours after the start... :mumble: You won't get to see Patricia for sure, perhaps also not Sam and Cathal. But I'm sure you will see Sarah and Padraig.

 

I guess there will likely be some breaks though (arena maintenance etc), in this big field of 70 starters... There is also quite often a longer break before the final 25 starters in these kind of competitions, so Sam could be safe too. :d

Thanks for the info :)

I will leave a trail of dust in my wake tomorrow, because as soon as 16:30 comes, I am outta there! :d

It should be a tight battle between :AUS:GER:SWE:USA:NED:NZL and even :CAN for the final 3 Olympic spots. :GBR:IRL:FRA are well in front, so it would take a disaster for them to lose a spot. Although saying that, the French are definitely not the best of jumpers...

 

Australians are probably the best rated show jumpers, so I don't see them losing a spot. Germany and Sweden are somewhat worse, but not too bad overall. Americans may struggle to have more than one clear. Dutch are probably the worst jumpers of the lot, so they have an outside chance at best. New Zealand can bring 3 clears. Canada is not that far, but they aren't particularly consistent jumpers either (aside from Colleen Loach).

 

Show jumping will have 4* technical difficulty, compared to 3* cross-country, so it could easily be overinflutential... But by the same token, there was a rest day in between so the level of jumping might improve.

      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.

      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

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  ?
