Catching up with some important, but not necessarily binding selection events...

 

:ESP Spain - dressage - https://online.equipe.com/en/class_sections/561132

Claudio Castilla Ruiz was always going to be a lock. Looking very good Beatriz Ferrer-Salat and her new ride Elegance, who scored an impressive PB. Juan Antonio Jimenez rose to the occasion and I guess he will battle for the last spot on the team, against Jose Martin Dockx, Juan Garcia and possibly Jordi Domingo... Severo Jurado (5th individually from Rio) was absent from Madrid, but has his chance as well.

 

:AUS Australia / :NZL New Zealand - eventing - https://www.nominate.com.au/equest/nsw/results/syd3de21/SJ_2104_CCn4-s.html

A special selection event was held for AUS/NZL riders based in Oceania. Following this win (and an impressive finishing score), things are looking great for Stuart Tinney. Shane Rose did well too, but it will be tough against the Europe-based Australians (Chris Burton is a lock, but there are also Andrew Hoy and Kevin McNab).

 

As for New Zealand, Clarke Johnstone & Balmoral Sensation (6th from Rio) withdrew before jumping, which could prove costly... Tim and Jonelle Price are surely a lock. For the final spot, it will probably be a battle between Johnstone, and Jesse Campbell, Samantha Lissington and Amanda Pottinger...

Some updates on eventing entry lists...

 

Looks like :THA Arinadtha Chavatanont is headed to Baborowko (May 27-30). She needs MER otherwise Thai team is out (and :RUS + :LTU (!) are in).

 

:IND Fouaad Mirza is entered for Montelibretti apparently (May 20-23). @Dolby @Fly_like_a_don

 

No sign of CHI/ZIM so far. :CHI Carlos Lobos is presumably headed for his home event in Quillota (May 24-27). If he fails, he should have another chance at the same venue (June 18-20). :ZIM Camilla Kruger has a few options (Houghton Hall, Renswoude, Millstreet), but can only enter one of them.

After the good score of Beatriz Ferrer-Salat with Elegance, what do you think of the Spanish team? 6th place in Tokyo?

6th-9th I'd say.

 

If they beat Sweden, they should be 6th. If not, then 7th, or lower if Australia/Portugal deliver. Still, I am pretty sure they will make it to the team finals (Top 8), considering how consistently reliable Spanish riders are under pressure (compared to some other nations).

Update on unconfirmed MERs...

 

Dressage - :BER (ind)

Eventing - :THA (team), :CHI:IND:ZIM (ind)

Jumping - :UKR (ind)

 

Bermuda is entered for Abrantes next week, which should be merely a matter of taking part (hopefully).

 

Thailand and India will have their all-or-nothing competitions soon.

 

Still no sign of Chile, Zimbabwe and Ukraine on the entry lists.

 

Incidentally, I realized that Quilotta events in Chile are not listed under the MER events. Unless it gets added (impossible without a rule change), I'm afraid their quota is 99% gone... :ECU Ecuador stands to gain a reallocation (MER confirmed).

:UKR Oleksandr Prodan clear today at World Cup in Lithuania.

https://online.equipe.com/en/class_sections/566192

 

But since this was only CSI2*-W level, he still needs to repeat it at another competition...

:( Sad news... We are robbed by FEI. This quota should be for Ukrainian in ranking who was higher than polish rider.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
