Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

According to this, it is almost certain that :KOR South Korea will withdraw from dressage.

 

With Hwang Young-shik no longer aiming for Tokyo and Rio 2016 Olympian Kim Dong-seon retiring from sport last year, South Korea is left with a couple of amateurs with no realistic hopes of achieving MER. There is still some time left, though.

 

If Korea withdraws, :MAS Malaysia would receive a reallocation. It seems like Qabil Ambak is feeling pretty confident about this, as his horse Delatio got transferred back to Malaysia just before the horse nationality cut-off date on January 15th. Ambak himself has not competed the horse for over a year now.

:RSA Gretha Ferreira announced she has a baby due in August.

 

As of today, she was the only South African dressage rider with confirmed MER, so this puts their participation in uncertainty. Tanya Seymour, Laurienne Dittman and Nicole Smith have their chances to obtain MER, though.

 

Should they fail to get another MER athlete, :PLE Diana Al-Shaer stands to gain a place for Palestine.

Aaaand scratch that.

 

Kim Dong-seon is back a year after his official retirement. Might as well return since there is a pandemic going on and not much to do. :p

 

Quote

This is my last show,” he said after placing second in the CDI4* Grand Prix Freestyle. “I’m going to be retiring from competitive horse sport now. I’ve been doing this for around 10 years now in the CDIs. I want to do something else. I want to be an investment banker now.”

:BEL Belgium selects Laurence Roos & Fil Rouge as their representatives in dressage. They will still have to prove their fitness, but essentially there will not be an open season for the Belgian individual spot.

 

Roos continues the long tradition of equestrian dentists at the Olympics...

Here are the remaining MER events for eventing. It's changing daily, with cancellations / postponements coming left and right...

 

https://inside.fei.org/system/files/OG Eventing 2021 Calendar 26March2021.pdf

 

Notably, although the dealine is June 20th, Millstreet CCI4*-L will end June 6th, and it will represent the final chance for most who are still seeking their qualification...

@dcrocan Ukrainian riders in Jumping (naturalization , of course) archive MER in any competition to conpete in Jumping Team?

Ukraine failed to keep their jumping team (not enough riders with MER on Dec 31, 2019).

 

Now they can send only one jumping individual (provided they have MER).

    • 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.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • 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.
    • 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  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? 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  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
