Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

If a horse is changed it's fine to keep MER, else I refuse to agree with the concept if same qualified horse has to have MER. Yes it is still ridiculous in my opinion.

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.

    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
