Story on Brazil losing their dressage team

 

Quote

The whole effort of shipping horses and competing in Europe came after Brazilians have found out, at the Pan-Am Games, that the bronze medal wasn’t enough to secure the team slot. It seems like no one, not a single rider, not the national Brazilian Equestrian Federation (CBH - Confederação Brasileira de Hipismo), had carefully read the FEI Qualification System, which was published almost two years ago. Furthermore, CBH posted on its own website in April 2018 the FEI qualification rules for Tokyo.

 

It's like I suspected all along. :facepalm: What a bunch of amateurs! :facepalm: Brazil had a long tradition of hosting 3* events, and this year they for whatever reason downgraded them to 2* events. It's the purest form of ignorance.

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.

Yeah, it's pretty sad... Sadly, they aren't the first or last federation to make that mistake. I'm not sure if the people in the Brazilian Equestrian Federation are paid, but if they are then there should be some firings. You can argue that language may have been a barrier (the qualification documents are published in English and French), but Google Translate exists and as soon as you start seeing things like MER in the eligibility section then it would be time to start asking questions.

Finally some good results for :SRI Mathilda Karlsson... She overtakes Thailand, but is still well behind Hong Kong.

 

Hong Kong riders still don't have MER though, so there may be some hope yet. :dunno:

:CAN officially disqualified in team jumping :( 


Really sad for Eric Lamaze, with his current health this is likely his last chance at Olympic glory. Hopefully he gets in? @dcro

Here it is. Argentina gets a team (what a joy this must be for them), while Canada gets an individual spot instead...

 

I just can't believe Canada will only have a dressage team. It's the complete opposite from Rio. :yikes:

Canada will be able to send one individual. Lamaze not getting selected would be surprising.

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
