Recommended Posts

Meanwhile, the American dressage trials (not 100% binding like in T&F) start today.

 

Here is an excellent preview.

No Olympics for :ITA Miloserdova... When she changed her nationality, she forgot to do the same for her horse. :facepalm:

The Italian federation is being so painfully transparent about all this. They declined to send anyone to the 2019 Europeans (also an Olympic qualification event), because none of their riders were "medal candidates". But now, after they received a cheap Olympic reallocation, suddenly they are happy to send anyone and at any cost. I guess some official will be getting a nice Tokyo trip.

Since when horses need to have a citizenship?? :-D :-D :-D

Well, not strictly horses, but the ownerships do have nationalities. :d And for the Olympics specially, the horses' ownerships must be the same as that of their riders. But this is only for the FEI database - the real ownerships are tracked elsewhere and are commonly tweaked to make some horse-rider partnerships eligible.

 

What is funny in this case is that Tatiana Miloserdova is both a rider and an owner of her horse... But in one database she is listed as Italian, and in another as Russian, and therefore ineligible. :lol:

 

She may have forgot to change the horse's nationality, but some appeal seems possible here. It's not her fault that FEI databases are not connected.

So, we will send Zaza or we lost the quota?

Zaza, Truppa or Maroni.

Damn, the hope lasted 10 minutes or so :lol: I thought the quotas are for athletes but then I realized It was for NOC :p

Truppa have some troubles with the federation, they hate each other and I think that there is still a judgment process. The federation put some money on her horse and she sold it, i think that we can discard the option.

 

So, i guess that it will be Zaza-Maroni, but Zaza is the only one with a bit of international experience...

Day 1 results..

https://results.equestrian-hub.com/show/2623/dressage/34453

 

Lyle and Peters solidify their status as frontrunners, while Schut-Kery builds a strong case for herself.

 

Wagman and LaGoy-Weltz will need to perform out of their skin on Day 2 to have any chance.

So we have entered the last week of the MER period... And oh boy. :d

 

:NZL New Zealand created a total chaos after withdrawing from dressage. Their quota got reallocated to :MAS Malaysia, but Qabil Ambak still lacks the confirmation score of 66% and will be rushing to Le Mans to get it. Should he fail, the quota will get reallocated to :SGP Singapore. Caroline Chew however also lacks the confirmation result and will compete in Le Mans too. Should she fail too, the quota goes to :IND India, and guess what? Both Anush Agarwalla and Shruti Vora are in Le Mans going for their confirmation scores. :lol:

 

This is all very last minute. All these riders (except Agarwalla) have been inactive for over a year, but now after NZ withdrew they are trying to pick up the pieces. All of them have achieved 66% in the past, but the question is whether they can do it on such short notice

 

Should all of them fail, the quota will finally go to :HKG Hong Kong. Jacqueline Siu has her MERs in order, but hasn't competed in over a year... It is questionable whether she and her horse are ready to compete after such pause, but nevertheless, they would be allowed to go to Tokyo should Hong Kong receive a place.

 

Also in Le Mans, :BER Annabelle Collins will have one last chance to confirm MER aboard new horse. Should she fail, the quota goes to :VEN Venezuela (Patricia Ferrando lacks the confirmation result, but is in Le Mans as well), and if they fail, it will finally go to :CHI Chile (MER confirmed).

 

Phew.

When is the Le Mans tournament. Amazing that so many were able to enter it at the last minute.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
