Brazilians will apparently ship five horses to Moscow for next week's CDI3*.

 

Transporting horses from Western Europe to Moscow is pretty much a logistical nightmare. Usually they end up being on Belarussian border for like 12+ hours alone. That's why you very rarely see non-ex-Soviets competing there, but indeed these are exceptional circumstances for Team Brazil...

Saleh is trying really hard. On tonight's underscoring menu he found Austria. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing it's not the first time he's under suspicion of doing dirty work to cover the mediocrity of the french dressage riders.

Probably yes.

 

He is also trying to be sneaky though. Given the specific situation, he can both underscore and overscore his targets, and thus make himself look clean - even if the outcome of such judging doesn't make sense. This may sound paranoid, but I'm quite sure about it. :p Yesterday 4/5 judges had Senhorini as the best Brazilian. And that made sense, since Senhorini performed a relatively clean test, while the other two had big errors for which they fully deserved low 60s...

 

And Saleh? He put Senhorini way behind both Almeida and Oliva...

 

But then again, I always felt like the Olympic qualifications bring the worst in the officials, in all kinds of sports. Much more so than Olympics themselves. :dunno:

The number of athletes trying to qualify is a lot larger than the number of athletes trying to win a medal. So I can see there being more pressure for officials to do shady stuff.

There’s a lot more at stake. It’s one thing to be a medalist, but many athletes are just happy to make it to the Olympics.

As I suspected, Brazilian and South African riders are indeed struggling to get on entry lists for the remaining indoor events... Same is happening with Austria and France, but not nearly to the same extent.

 

This is becoming quite bizarre...

Brazil isn't struggling. Brazil is *desperate* :rolleyes:

Very, very good start for Usman Khan - a personal best in dressage.

 

Meanwhile, I fear we might not get interim results from South America. But anyway, here is how it can play out...

  • If :CHI Lobos wins his CCI4*-S event, then he is home free. There are only two entrants in this event.
  • If :CHI Lobos finishes 2nd, then :ECU Zabala can overtake him, but only if he wins the CC4*-L event aboard Wundermaske.
  • If :CHI Lobos enounters problems and does not score any points, then whoever wins the CCI4*-L events stands a chance to claim the Group E quota on tie-break.

      In fact, according to some first-hand reports, female athletes mutinied protesting Maccarani's dismissal. And even Raffaelli denied the interceptions, speaking of a very good relationship with Cantaluppi and denying training with humiliating punishments, such as staying in their underwear.   A system of omertà and rotten from head to toe.

      I also experienced the same issues with other websites in the past 2 years (one was non the less than mlb.tv, which I could reach only behind an Italian vpn for months 2 years ago)   it came out that here it was connected to the fucking anti-piracy shield of the Italian government (despite I'm not using any pirate website, only free or paid official ones), with some providers having a lot of their subnet addresses completely blocked because of one signaled violation within their CDN   however, I don't think it's the same kind of issue in  of course   the only advice I can give, it's to try and connect under a vpn (even of your own Country, but still under a vpn)   normally this overcomes all kinds of blocks at any level, intentional or unintentional   and if a home broadband connection doesn't work, always try the data connection of your smartphone (if you have one) before starting to seriously worry

      it's always all about the "USSR-alike" methods used by the coaching duo Maccarani/Tishina at their National Academy   now some leaked phone calls have shown the former Federation's president commenting on the girls with sexist expressions and things like that   moreover, it's been discovered that also Raffaeli and Baldassari were treated like the team by their coach Julieta Cantalupi, forced to get naked in public after missing some exercise in training or kept for hours closed in a dark and cold small room in punishment after a not satisfactory training section   basically, all the Italian stars of the Rhythmic Gymnastics have come to success only after and possibly because of unacceptable humiliation by the coaches, which looks to be the usual attitude also among the youngsters and the "amateur" clubs   Italian Rhythmic Gymnastics is a dirty, sick world     now the Group is basically not active and doesn't go to the next world cup stages, Baldassarri has retired and Raffaeli looks to be happy with her new coach (the Goddess herself, Claudia Mancinelli) after Cantalupi ran away like a rabbit to Israel in Autumn 2023 after the first rumors about the scandals came out
