Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
