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).

      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

      Each provider can have different DNS settings.  Can also configure a choice of DNS servers at PC level - been a long time since I've had to think about this!

      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
