So Ukraine will start? It is a fraud. Olympic quota should be for next athlete in ranking, not country. This is cheating..

Yes, they will...

 

Well, this rule was known from the start. Ukraine did everything by-the-book to keep that individual place.

 

But nevertheless, Poland has been really unlucky.  First they chose the tougher tournament in Moscow (where they lost to Israel by 1 pen), and then they witnessed Ukraine failing to keep their team spot and taking the individual spot instead...

It is not problem but in this case individual ranking is useless. For example riders from Turkey and Poland had started in many events for points and now "anonymous" rider can start (group C has not rich "riders" with many top level horses). And he has a standard from competition which was beyond ranking? FEI "killing" some europeans nations. For example nations from group C cannot start in some events with group A, B in team competitions.

What the hell?

 

Apparently a withdrawn eventing quota (of an unspecified origin) got reallocated to... Malaysia in dressage? Presumably the withdrawn eventing quota is really Pakistan from the Group F, but how on earth can that same quota end up going to the different discipline, and to the different Group (G)?

 

Either Qabil Ambak has no clue what he is talking about, or FEI better get their lawyers on speed dial.

Norway has nobody else, so this quota will get reallocated to Italy!

At this point, they are dropping like flies.

 

Another Irish Girl in Green who achieved the historic qualification - Kate Dwyer - is out as she announced pregnancy.

Ireland will now have to scratch the bottom of the barrel.
