It's funny how composite teams qualification will work (I'll just assume that both Group F/G quotas will get reallocated).

 

Basically the most isolated eventing nations (who organize 3* events) will qualify! That means likely Russia and Brazil I'd say, maybe Belarus. 3* competitions give the same numbers of points to winner no matter what's the size of a field (100 or 1 competitors). And it's the Russian competitions in Vladikavkaz, or Brazilian competitions in Barretos that usually have only home athletes (Russia sometimes gets Belarussion or Kazakh guests but that's it). Belarus also organizes quite a few 3* competitions in Minsk.

 

Nobody (from mainland Europe) is crazy enough to travel to such places. Logistically impossible.

Do you know finally believe in your eventers? :d

 

Yes, I have to now after such a solid performance! I believe the Olympic course (and possibly even the Europeans) will be a lot more testing in terms of cross country but this team is capable of everything it seems :)

Great win for the British B team... ;)

Once they get their good riders competing they might be a good team....

 

It's not B team when a ridiculous amont of them is on the same level. :p

 

Oliver Townend should have received suspension for horse abuse after Badminton, so at least he missed out on this...

At least a medal for Klimke and the Olympic qualification for the team. :) Hopefully, it will look better in Tokyo with Jung in the team. 

I am sure that Germany will win double gold in Tokyo, currently i would take any bet on that. Jung and Klimke are safe in the team, the question is who out of Auffarth and Krajewski will take the 3rd place. I still believe in Krajewski and if she learns how to do the cross-country, Germany will be the huge favorite. Very sad that Hoy retired, she deserved an olympic gold after she got robbed in 2004.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
