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.

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...

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

 

Here is an excellent preview.

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.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
