Well, things are not looking bright for Norwegian dressage.

 

Antonia Jacobsen & Danny have one MER result from last year, however Danny has since been retired. This leaves them with nothing. Norwegian Horse Festival is scheduled for next week however, so it will be interesting to see if someone can obtain 66% MER.

Something that I forgot to share here... FEI has decided to shorten the Olympic cross-country course to just 8 minutes.

 

It will not be the shortest Olympic course ever (they already did the same in Hong Kong), but nevertheless it's disappointing... The course will now be easier for sure, but optimum time should be harder to attain, as it was in 2008 when nobody came within 20 seconds of it. It's because when they shorten the course, they mostly remove galloping sections rather than jumps.

 

This also means we may see some horses that tend to struggle with stamina (Kim Severson's Cooley Cross Border definitely comes to mind...).

Damn, that’s less fun for those of us that will be on course :(

And to follow up on this - things are still not looking good.

Farbrot & Red Rebel have talent, but no piaffe/passage. Others are essentially amateurs anyway. I guess the last Norwegian hope could be Germany-based professional Isabel Freese, but only if free Olympic quota attracts her attention. :mumble:

 

 

Meanwhile...

 

Based on this, we can assume that FEI has informed nations of their individual quota places this week. We shall soon know if there are any reallocations.

*BREAKING NEWS*

 

:QAT Qatar got disqualified from the Group F qualification event, so :MAR Morocco is now qualified...

 

:SRI Mathilda Karlsson lost a bunch of points from Villeneuve-Loubet. Her quota now goes to :HKG Hong Kong, while Sri Lanka is only the second reserve...

 

Following this, we effectivelly lose two participating nations. It's rather unfortunate, even though Morocco having a jumping team is a nice novelty.

FEI confirmed the individual qualifiers here.

Some of these reserve lists make no sense whatsoever though. It's as if they were made using random pick generator or something. :crazy:

 

They completely left out :ITA Italy in dressage (?). :MAS Malaysia and :GRE Greece are for some very weird reason listed as 1st and 2nd reserves for the overall Olympic rankings in dressage. :KAZ Kazakhstan and :LTU Lithuania are magic reserves for eventing's Group C (if it stays like that, they will be really hoping for Russian blanket ban :p).

      Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.
