Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

Maybe this is not over. I wonder what happens if FEI was to hasty in awarding the spot to Argentina?

 

In any case, Canada will be taking this to CAS...

If you discount Nicole's score then Canada finishes with 84.07 points (seventh place). The disaster of a first qualifier from Lisa Ann Carlsen would count as Canada would only have a team of three athletes so no scores would be dropped. The only way to save Canada's quota would be to argue that Walker shouldn't be disqualified.

Yeah, poor Lisa Carlsen didn't have the greatest championship comeback (first since Seoul 1988). Her score was the one you get for elimination in speed competition (worst finishing score + 20 penalties).

Piggy French dropped a bomb today by announcing that Quarrycrest Echo, a real stalwart of British eventing team, has been sold to Japan.

 

Deadline for horse transfer is January 15th. Horses that change nationality after that will not be eligible to compete in Tokyo.

Umbach must be on a nice French payroll. He was already ridiculous in Madrid, and now again in Frankfurt.

 

I just can't stand these complecent cheaters anymore.

Have you tried showing the FEI evidence?

Probably nothing can be done without some hard off-competition evidence (which I have no doubt exist).

 

The sadest part is that probably all of this will be for nothing, as both Austria and France will likely go through anyway. Nevertheless there are people (Saleh, Umbach) ready to make complete mockery of their own profession, just to help some terrible mediocrity that is French dressage team. Ugh.

[dcro 10,210]

FEI published the list of MER events for 2020.

 

Dressage

Eventing (to come)

Jumping

 

How nice, Brazilian federation remembered to organize no less than 3 dressage events this time!

What nationalities are the judges?

 

[dcro 10,210]

What a circus.

 

Umbach can go screw himself, for all I care. 78% was absolutely ridiculous score for Ayache. Thank you for having a sense of justice Dr. Evi Eisenhardt. 67%. Cool.
