Well, this is weird. FEI changed the qualification system (again), and looks like there will be two Group C jumping qualifiers with nations choosing at which one they will participate (Budapest or Moscow). :yikes: That is just about the stupidest qualification path ever. One venue may end up with 10 teams and the other may get 2 or something! :facepalm:

 

And I'm afraid that is exactly what's going to happen if nations choose to go to a more practical location. Budapest may end up getting stacked with Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia... While in Moscow it may quite possibly be Russia vs Belarus (vs Kyrgyzstan?)...

Canada will not compete in team jumping during Tokyo Games.   https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1102939/canada-nicole-walker-cas-result    Argentina takes team quota instead.

There may be some mind games. Looking at the rankings, Israel and Poland are the top two Group C nations so I'd imagine if the possibility was there someone like the Czech Republic could take their chances and compete in Russia. Or maybe those two nations come to an agreement and one of them (Poland?) goes to Russia.

I don't think we will choose Russia. Though it is our national way of thinking to look for an easier way, in sports we have usually less money than needed, which might be crucial.

I wonder if Estonia will put together a team for Moscow. If Russia turns out to be the main opposition, then anything can happen as Estonia has some decent individuals (better than Russia I'd say).

 

Taking a sneak peek at various Moscow results from 2018, it looks like only Russia, Belarus and Estonia participated at those events...

Whatever happened to Ukraine? They "found" a good team for the last Olympics.

Yes, their mercenary team dated back to pre-2008, but just around Rio 2016 they disbanded quite dramatically...

 

Basically all foreigners more or less left after that. Rivetti switched back to Brazil. Tebbel is gone too. Others are no longer at the top level. I doubt they'll even attempt to send a team to these events.

Not a very promising start for Colombian and Guatemalan Olympic qualification hopes... Although, I'm pretty sure they mainly attempted to reach minimum requirements for the Pan Ams (what they succeeded ).

Surprise, surprise, Barcelona will once again host the Nations Cup Final. :d

 

Spain will therefore be prequalified as hosts. But I wouldn't get my hopes too high up. Spain has a history of flopping miserably at Barcelona finals. :wacko:

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
