More news about appointed officials for Tokyo

 

Cross-country course designer

:USA Derek di Grazia (announced in 2016)

 

 

question from someone who normally only watches world champs and Olympic competitions (and very few others, just occasionally)...

what should we expect from him?

Is he famous for good course designing or is he more on the controversial side of the job? :mumble:

Canada will not compete in team jumping during Tokyo Games.   https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1102939/canada-nicole-walker-cas-result    Argentina takes team quota instead.

He is one of those who usually rewards positive, confident riding, which is good. Adding strides can easily get you in trouble on his courses, even if it may be a natural instinct that going slower means safer... Also he gets praised for building horse-friendly courses, where inexperienced horses can build a lot of confidence during just one run (again, if ridden positively).

 

Most of all, he seems to be very unpredictable. His Kentucky course from last week was very different than the one from 2018, so really nobody can tell what he is cooking up for next year. :d He used a lot of terrain in Kentucky, but I wonder if there will be any terrain available at the Tokyo course, which is right by the sea (hopefully some hills will be artificially added if it's completely flat)...

 

Some quotes on his Kentucky course can be read here.

Jumping rankings are also out.

 

Jumping simulation

Group A - :GBR:IRL

Group B - :ESP:AUT

Group C - :ISR:POL

Group F - :EGY:SYR

Group G - :TPE:NZL

Additional - :FRA

 

:MKD and :SRI are climbing steadily! Actually, since two more Group G nations will get a team, I'd be shocked if Sri Lanka doesn't qualify.

 

Full rankings here. :evil:

Preliminary entries are out for Baborowko CCIO4*-L and Saumur CCIO3*-L. At this point we can only gather the participating nations, and not the actual athletes, but that is enough to guess which nations may contest the Olympic qualifiers.

 

Group C (Baborowko) - :BLR:CZE:POL:RUS

Groups F/G (Saumur) - :CHN:HKG:RSA:THA

 

Winner of Group C + Top 2 from Groups F/G will obtain quota places for team eventing.

@dcro any news about entry list for the eventing qualification event?

 

Still no detailed entries. All I can gather is that Bao Yingfeng (Teseo) and Bianba Ciren (Sultan de la Motte or Tropic d'Heauville) will be on the Chinese team.

Entries are out for the Groups F/G qualification event.

 

:CHN China (4 riders will be chosen)

Bao Yingfeng (Teseo)

Bianba Ciren (Sultan de la Motte or Tropic d'Heauville)

Alex Hua Tian (Don Geniro or PSH Convivial)

Liang Ruiji (Agora de Bordenave or Crackerjack)

Sun Huadong (Lady Chin van't Moerven Z)

 

:HKG Hong Kong

Thomas Heffernan Ho (Jockey Club Charlene OLD or Tayberry)

Annie Ho (Lost in Translation or MJI Belle Bonita)

Patrick Lam (Jockey Club Weronique)

 

:THA Thailand

Arinadtha Chavatanont (Bolleybawn Prince)

Weerapat Pitakanonda (Chateau de Versailles M25)

Korntawat Samran (Luminous)

Supanut Wannakool (Tzar of Her Dreams)

 

Looks like South Africa will not be taking part. Therefore, two nations between :CHN:HKG:THA will qualify an eventing team. :p

 

Although, it's not quite that simple. For starters, at least 3 team members need to complete the event for the nation to be eligible. 1000+ team penalties will not get you anything.

Well, even one can be enough for individual qualification. :d

      I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.

      I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ?
