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.

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.

: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...

@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).

      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

      Was the problem really the coaching staff ? I mean it is 3rd time and in all 3 cases there were different coaches, right ?   Probabyl the issue is somewhere else, I did not know Gattuso and his staff played the matches on the pitch themselves

      It's sad that Buffon is tarnishing his legend and the same think is for Gattuso. Ranieri did the right thing by refusing... Who's going to replace Gravina now? Malago, or someone from the football community?
