JoshMartini007 2,220 Posted August 23, 2018 #91 Share Posted August 23, 2018 France is quickly turning into one of those countries where they only care if they have a chance at winning a medal, completely ignoring that athletes typically don't go from unknown to world champs overnight.

Despite puting the maximum number of names in the nominative entries, the French federation eventually decided not to send dressage team at all! Nominated riders are quite angry. http://www.eurodressage.com/2018/08/23/french-federation-drops-bomb-deciding-not-send-team-weg The Barbançon sisters (Morgan was a Olympian in London) change alliegance from Spain to France cause they have an easier way of making the team there and now they don't even get to compete.

dcro 10,182 Posted August 24, 2018 #95 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Germany has finally announced its dressage team... Sonke Rothenberger (Cosmo) Dorothee Schneider (Sammy Davis Jr.) Jessica von Bredow-Werndl (TSF Dalera) Isabell Werth (Bella Rose) Reserve: Helen Langehanenberg (Damsey) German selectors have lost their mind apparently. Langehanenberg got robbed of her place, as she is quite clearly the 3rd best right now. Schneider should have been the reserve. Also they chose Bella Rose instead of Weihegold for Werth... Good luck with that. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,562 Posted August 25, 2018 #96 Share Posted August 25, 2018 The Dutch dressage coach is no longer the Dutch dressage coach, rather unfortunate moment. There won't be a new coach as of yet, private coaches and the technical director will take over for the WEG. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
