So, this weekend concluded the eventing season in Europe and North America, and pretty much sealed the deal on Olympic qualification.

 

Teams qualified - :JPN:GBR:IRL:FRA:GER:AUS:NZL:SWE:ITA:POL:USA:BRA:CHN:THA:SUI

 

Everyone has the Certificate of Capability. Nilson da Silva failed, so Brazil still needs to find the third rider (they can do that next season). Thailand meanwhile has nobody to fill the reserve slot (and it will probably stay that way).

 

 

Individuals qualified (spots are awarded to NOCs, not the specific athletes)

 

Group A

:NED Tim Lips (Bayro) - 236

:NED Merel Blom (Ceda) - 111

 

Group B

:BEL Karin Donckers (Fletcha van't Verahof) - 105

:ESP Francisco Gavino Gonzalez (Source de la Faye) - 92

 

Group C

:RUS Aleksandr Markov (Leader) - 176

:RUS Valery Martyshev (Primero) - 159

 

Group D

:CAN Karl Slezak (Fernhill Wishes) - 58

:CAN Colleen Loach (Qorry Blue d'Argouges) - 57

 

Group E

:PUR Lauren Billys (Castle Larchfield Purdy) - 111

:CHI Carlos Lobos (Ranco) - 71

:ECU Ronald Zabala-Goetschel (Wundermaske) - 3

 

Group F

:RSA Victoria Scott-Legendre (Song du Magay) - 12

:ZIM Camilla Kruger (Biarritz) - 3

:PAK Usman Khan (Azad Kashmir) - 2

 

Group G

:IND Fouaad Mirza (Fernhill Facetime) - 34

:HKG Thomas Heffernan Ho (Tayberry) - 7

 

Additional

:CZE Miloslav Prihoda Jr. (Ferreolus Lat) - 141

:BLR Alexander Zelenko (Carlo Grande Jr.) - 112

:BLR Aliaksandr Faminou (Martinie) - 107

:DEN Peter T. Flarup (Fascination) - 104

:CZE Miroslav Trunda (Shutterflyke) - 99

:AUT Lea Siegl (Fighting Line) - 79

 

Incomplete MERs - :CHI:RSA:ZIM:PAK:IND

 

 

Everything is decided, aside from Group E and Group F.

 

Second quota in Group E should be decided in a direct battle between :CHI Carlos Lobos and :ECU Ronald Zabala at Campo de Mayo CCI4*-L in two weeks time.

 

Australian-based :PAK Usman Khan has a chance to take over the second spot away from Zimbabwe. He is entered for Wallaby Hill CCI4*-L in two weeks time, where he will essentially have to complete with MER, which would give him 3 points irregardless of his finishing position. This seems to be a massive chance for Pakistan, but it's by no means a done deal.

Special mention for the Czech Republic and Asia.

 

Czechs made history by claiming (largely unexpected) two spots, while Pakistan has a chance to be the sixth Asian nation qualified. I don't think Asia ever had more than two nations in eventing at single Olympics.

It's a big day for :BRA Brazil tomorrow, as the following combinations will try to obtain 66% MER at Munich Indoors...

 

Pedro de Almeida (Xiripiti)

Joao Victor Oliva (Aron de Massa)

Edneu Senhorini (Xapparo do Vouga)

 

They desperately need the scores. After Munich they will at most have 4 other opportunities. And that too is questionable, since pretty much all remaining events are European indoor shows with sometimes (very) limited entries...

Just now, MHSN said:

 

Azad means free in Persian, I assume it has the same meaning in Pashtun.

 

isn't naming your horse "Free Kashmir" supposed to be political and forbidden ?

 

Yeah, I imagine it could prove to be an issue if he makes it to the Olympics, especially since India is already assured of qualification...

 

Interestingly, that horse was previously named "Here To Stay", but then earlier this year Khan changed it to "Azad Kashmir"... For a price of 1,000 CHF. You can check the horse's history here.

Guys I’ve just bought a horse and named it “Fuck Trump”, who wants to go the Olympics :p

French cheaters are back. :cheer:

:FRA Raphael Saleh did an excellent job really. His outlier (62.717%) prevented :BRA Senhorini from scoring the required 66%. France of course hopes to troll their way to another Olympics through reallocation.

 

It's already outraging that both Austria and France had judges on panel, but Saleh really outdid himself...

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
