Very slim. Karen Pavicic has the best shot, but Tokyo will come too soon for her current string of horses. Her chances look much better for 2021 Europeans and onwards.

First 221 Olympic points for Wagner. But they won't be needed if Luxembourg qualifies a full team.

FEI finally published the January jumping rankings. Jumping does have the most complicated points system, but let's hope the next updates will be somewhat quicker.

Another promising result for Wagner.

Group C1/C2 jumping team allocation has been made. Looks like every Group C nation is interested to compete except and .

 

C1 (Moscow) -

C2 (Budapest) -

 

So it turns out that the Moscow qualifier will be the stacked one after all. Budapest qualifier will probably be Czech Republic vs Hungary, but watch out for Slovakia!

 

Although it says that Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have "confirmed participation", I refuse to believe that.

Haha, maybe everyone thought the Moscow would be the easier one and went there...

Overview

Group A - Denmark should have no trouble with team qualification. When that happens, Finland will take the second spot, with Norway being an outsider.

Group B - Great to see Luxembourg leading this competitive group. Two nations from this group should be able to qualify a full team, so that will open things up a bit. Also, I'm quite sure the additional individual spot will eventually be assigned to this group. Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland... All of them want someone in Tokyo...

Group C - Georgia is sitting pretty in the first place, but it won't last once the usual suspects start to come in. Too bad, Vaughan is participating at the always competitive Florida circuit. She is doing it the hard way. Ukrainians and Belorussians, who will likely take the available slots, will be hiding at their home shows, until they come to the Europeans and score some miserable 62% or something...

Groups D/E - Canada will qualify a team, no doubt, but nevertheless Yvonne Losos is still topping the leaderboard. Dominican spot is basically already secured. No way some non-Canadian could match that. Pujals is probably doing enough to qualify Mexico too. Other than that, Latin America has been quite disappointing so far.. Guatemala is only temporarily here. Argentina and Ecuador surprisingly haven't showed up in Florida this year. A great shame, since the Global Dressage Festival was the perfect opportunity to collect Olympic points (it's basically 12 weeks of competition at the same venue...). Costa Rican rider did show up in Florida, but he dropped to small tour, which counts for nothing, Olympic-wise...

Group F - South Africa will hopefully qualify a team. With them gone, second spot will probably end up in Palestine, but watch out for Iran whose rider has improved quite a bit this year.

Group G - New Zealand started reasonably well at their National championships. They will however need to make a couple of trips to Australia to solidify their spot... Malaysia is holding the second spot as the only other ranked Group G nation, but nevertheless their rider definitely has a chance. Maybe even to overtake New Zealand eventually.
