Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

Canadian short list for jumping...

 

Erynn Ballard 

Mario Deslauriers 

Tiffany Foster 

Eric Lamaze 

Amy Millar 

 

One of them will go. The last chance of re-taking a team slot evaporated last week when the Chinese confirmed their MERs.

Dressage

Unconfirmed MERs (individual) - :NOR:BER:RSA

Possible reallocation (individual) - :ITA:CHI:SVK

68% for :NOR Ellen Brigitte Farbrot & Red Rebel today... Their previous Grand Prix scores were abysmal, but looks like Red Rebel learned to piaffe during lockdown.

 

Too bad. With this, the chances of Slovak reallocation went from 'good' to 'unlikely'. :(

:PAK Usman Khan is competing in Sydney this weekend.

 

He has a little wiggle room left. Should he fail to score under 45 in dressage (again), he can withdraw before cross-country and re-route to either Naracoorte or Tamborine next week. But, if he starts the cross-country and fails to obtain MER, it will be game over. Mandatory rest period is two weeks, even if you retire after clearing just one obstacle.

:PAK Khan scored 13% better than in Robertson few weeks ago... No idea what happened then, but today's score of 32.60 puts him past the point of no return.

 

Meanwhile, :BER Collins obtained 1/2 MERs on a new horse Chuppy Checker in Madrid today (68%). :hatoff:

No Olympics* for Usman Khan. He jumped clear but was 6 (!) seconds too slow. 1:21 behind the optimum time while 1:15 is the maximum allowed for MER. Unbelieveble! :facepalm:

Reallocation provisionally goes to Zimbabwe (MER not confirmed yet), and after that it would be Austria.

 

* Theoretically, he still has a chance if he sets off to Europe immediately and competes in Italy in two weeks. Even if he already had a sponsor for transportation, I highly doubt this would be logistically feasible. Surely not.

@dcro Why these MER are even required ? Shouldn't qualification be enough or MER should be in qualifying only like I hate this sport but this qualification is absolutely ridiculous. India qualifying or not is a different thing but this MER is absolutely nonsense.

It's not ridiculous. To earn (Olympic) ranking points at some competiton, you must obtain MER at that same competition, otherwise you will get 0 points even if you won. Therefore, everyone who qualified for the Olympics must have had their MERs in order (at least partly).

 

Specifically, after the 2019 season, this left only India and South Africa without full MERs, since they scored their points only in CCI4*-S competitions, but not CCI4*-L.

 

But then the postponement came and FEI asked everyone to re-confirm their CCI4*-S MER in either 2020 or 2021.

 

Usman Khan is a specific scenario. He had his MER on another horse which died suddenly. He then got a new horse with whom he had to start from scratch (this includes MERs at CCI2* and CCI3*, without which starting at CCI4* events is not even allowed).

 

So it's not neither shocking not unfair. Wildly inconsistent dressage scores, slow cross-country... Those are all symptoms of an ungelled partnership. It was to be expected, really.

To add to what @dcro said, ideally speaking those who didn’t fulfill MER requirement at end of qualification period should not be qualified, like it was team events. But, the additional time that individuals got to confirm their MER is to increase number of NOCs at Olympics. Basically, some leeway for universality quotas. (Lets be honest, these continental quotas are like universality quotas only).

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
