It's worth mentioning that FEI could again change the minimum eligibility requirements, following the EHV-1 event cancellations.

 

Feasibly, they may allow everyone with MER to their name, irregardless of the date when it was achieved (this however would not include the likes of Mirza and Khan).

dcro you know something about Ukrainian plans?

Czech team has a MER in jumping? 

If I am correct, we have MER in jumping. After the qualifying tournament, when the spot was originally earned by Ukraine, we did not have it but eventually all the riders accomplished it by the end of the year. At least the info in the media was like that. So I suppose we are good to go. But I may ask at the Czech equestrian federation ....

Technically, the Czechs achieved their MER in 2019.

 

But, after the postponement, FEI changed MERs and now requires them to be re-confirmed in 2020 or 2021. Not sure if the Czechs have done that.

Oh, did not know this rule. I will contact Czech equestrian federation and will see what they say....

Canadian selection season for dressage is in full swing. At this moment, this appears to be the likely team for Tokyo...

 

Lindsay Kellock (Sebastien)

Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu (All In)

Christ von Martels (Eclips)

Reserve: Naima Moreira-Laliberte (Statesman)

 

Which would be too bad for Moreira-Laliberte... She was the shooting star in 2020, but is struggling with consistency this year. And on top of that, she was apparently in an auto accident last week.

 

Seems to me Kellock is getting slightly overscored in these North American competitions. Would not be surprised one bit if the Olympic judges massacre her for piaffe, and cause her to bomb out in Tokyo with 69% or something.

Unfortunately, :IND Fouaad Mirza had a run-out late on the course today. No MER this weekend.

 

He is now too seriously running out of time and opportunities.

So where does he go from here .....

Strzegom again in two weeks probably.

 

For Dajara it is not looking good at all. It is never easy for a horse to break their refusal streak once it is established (especially under less experienced riders like Mirza). There is a hope yet with Seigneur Medicott, though.

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
