Well, things are not looking bright for Norwegian dressage.

 

Antonia Jacobsen & Danny have one MER result from last year, however Danny has since been retired. This leaves them with nothing. Norwegian Horse Festival is scheduled for next week however, so it will be interesting to see if someone can obtain 66% MER.

Something that I forgot to share here... FEI has decided to shorten the Olympic cross-country course to just 8 minutes.

 

It will not be the shortest Olympic course ever (they already did the same in Hong Kong), but nevertheless it's disappointing... The course will now be easier for sure, but optimum time should be harder to attain, as it was in 2008 when nobody came within 20 seconds of it. It's because when they shorten the course, they mostly remove galloping sections rather than jumps.

 

This also means we may see some horses that tend to struggle with stamina (Kim Severson's Cooley Cross Border definitely comes to mind...).

Damn, that’s less fun for those of us that will be on course :(

And to follow up on this - things are still not looking good.

Farbrot & Red Rebel have talent, but no piaffe/passage. Others are essentially amateurs anyway. I guess the last Norwegian hope could be Germany-based professional Isabel Freese, but only if free Olympic quota attracts her attention. :mumble:

 

 

Meanwhile...

 

Based on this, we can assume that FEI has informed nations of their individual quota places this week. We shall soon know if there are any reallocations.

*BREAKING NEWS*

 

:QAT Qatar got disqualified from the Group F qualification event, so :MAR Morocco is now qualified...

 

:SRI Mathilda Karlsson lost a bunch of points from Villeneuve-Loubet. Her quota now goes to :HKG Hong Kong, while Sri Lanka is only the second reserve...

 

Following this, we effectivelly lose two participating nations. It's rather unfortunate, even though Morocco having a jumping team is a nice novelty.

FEI confirmed the individual qualifiers here.

Some of these reserve lists make no sense whatsoever though. It's as if they were made using random pick generator or something. :crazy:

 

They completely left out :ITA Italy in dressage (?). :MAS Malaysia and :GRE Greece are for some very weird reason listed as 1st and 2nd reserves for the overall Olympic rankings in dressage. :KAZ Kazakhstan and :LTU Lithuania are magic reserves for eventing's Group C (if it stays like that, they will be really hoping for Russian blanket ban :p).

      Spalletti is a much better coach than Gattuso, but what did his team show at the Euro against Switzerland, or in Oslo against Norway? Nothing... I'm afraid that even Guardiola and Klopp wouldn't help here- well, maybe they could somehow push Bosnia through, but what next?

      Denmark can only blame themselves for that Belarus match. A win and they'd qualify with a game to spare alas...   Gattuso has no business being a manager at this level. Italian problems come from the lack of domestic talent in Serie A but Gattuso ain't gonna fix anything.

      Just listening to Gattuso is enough to understand that he's a simpleton.  Honor, pride, grit...but he is a coach, not a Spartan soldier. And he was surrounded by other idiots who confessed they had to buy their high school diploma. 1-0 up but down to 10 men and they are playing only counters with a lone forward with good pace (Kean, who almost scored the second) and Gattuso replaces him with a target man. Then 1-1, the team is forced to play more possession and the first thing he does is taking out a ball playing midfielder (who served a near assist just moments before) for Frattesi, who is only good in running into empty spaces to finish but always shy away from playing the ball.

      The last time this team played well was at Euro 2021 under Mancini, but they 8 months later they lost to Macedonia at home in a 2022 World Cup qualifier play- off at home game... In my opinion, Italy Euro success was thanks to Chiellini and Bonucci's recent big form and Chiesa's tournament of a life. Without them, Italy is simply average team: the 1-4 and 0-3 group defeats to Norway wasn`t a case (under Spalletti, so a good manager, at all). Play-offs, however, are always a lottery in this format – especially when you're playing decisive matches away and also under the pressure of Italy now + Bastoni's red card episode. Such things are decisive. Take the current play-offs: Poland, Denmark and Italy could just as easily have advanced, instead of the Czech Republic, Sweden or Bosnia. Top teams simply don't have to play in these play-offs, why they avoiding the risk of defeat. In groups you have 7-8 home and away matches and no only one- last match chance away

      Btw our coach (likely in a couple of days ex-coach as well ) Calzona, not the pizza, Italian himself, presented his 2 cents about Italian failure as well in the press conference after our useless match against Romania. Talk about how nonsensical and pointless this match was    https://sport.aktuality.sk/futbal/clanok/francesco-calzona-reakcia-na-bosna-taliansko-zaspali-sme-2026040100555755775
