Equestrian FEI World Games 2018

Time for driving, the last of the 8 disciplines to commence at this WEG.

 

Somehow expectedly, driving suffered the most from WEG being held outside of Europe. Only 19 carriages will enter, meaning less than half compared to 4 years ago... Defending team medalists from :HUN Hungary didn't even bother to send anyone. :dunno:

 

Today we start with dressage, marathon phase will be held tomorrow, while Sunday's cones will be the final event of the entire WEG.

These grooms sitting behind are not allowed to move or talk during a dressage test. They basically have a staring contest, that must be so awkward. :lol:

What a great 7am reception. :thumbup:@OlympicIRL

 

 

 

So great to see the team get a well-deserved big reception for their arrival home. Well done to all who came out to greet the team at such an early hour of the morning, our fans never cease to amaze me :)

And there we have it... Netherlands defeats Great Britain in team para-dressage. :yikes:

 

Unbelieveable. Must be the first time ever that Great Britain will not take this gold at any championships...

And looks like the para-dressage judges are not really different than the pure-dressage ones. Pathetic attempt from the British judge to continue their gold medal subscription... :facepalm:

So will today finally be the day that Ireland qualifies a showjumping team for the Olympics since Athens 2004?

 

Crazy to think that it's been so long, but I still would not bet on it. Tough teams ahead and behind us in the standings.

I will be amazed if they qualify. We need two clears unless the course rides very tough. Can see Britain and France overhaul us and cant see any weak teams ahead that we can pass. At least if 5 European teams qualify we have a better chance at Europeans next year.

O'Shea and Breen are yet to do a clear in Tryon, so there might be an increased chance of a random clear by the law of large numbers. :d

 

Murphy's Law sounds more Irish don't you think? :p

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
