After missing Olympic qualification by exactly one place at both Rio qualifiers, the Irish show jumping team has again missed it by one place. That's absolutely incredible. And ridiculous. And therefore everyone who dares to use term "bad luck" on this forum will get a stern look from me.

 

Meanwhile, this is how Group G team jumping qualification event for Rio 2016 looked like. Two quotas were on offer - Japan and Australia qualified. This time we have 2 quotas on offer again, but with a twist lying in a fact that both Japan and Australia are already qualified! Absolutely ridiculuos. One of these teams needs to avoid elimination and the joke is real!!

There’s no New Zealand in jumping group G?

There is, but they didn't bother to send a team last time. I guess they will this time seeing how they went in Tryon.

 

Still, that leaves a spot for one rather undeserving team...

FEi has published the updated qualification systems, and it looks like they are just another federation not familiar with its own rules...

They didn't put Australia for Group G.

Lol. Also for Pan Am Games they put PUR qualified in jumping, even though that appeared wrong.

Maybe the place would be obtained if they were in top 6 and then the 7th came into the WEG quota? Just thinking - haven't we seen enough stupidity in all those qualification systems?

I don't think so. It's the same Group G formula that was used for Rio.
