Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

It's worth mentioning that FEI could again change the minimum eligibility requirements, following the EHV-1 event cancellations.

 

Feasibly, they may allow everyone with MER to their name, irregardless of the date when it was achieved (this however would not include the likes of Mirza and Khan).

dcro you know something about Ukrainian plans?

Czech team has a MER in jumping? 

If I am correct, we have MER in jumping. After the qualifying tournament, when the spot was originally earned by Ukraine, we did not have it but eventually all the riders accomplished it by the end of the year. At least the info in the media was like that. So I suppose we are good to go. But I may ask at the Czech equestrian federation ....

Technically, the Czechs achieved their MER in 2019.

 

But, after the postponement, FEI changed MERs and now requires them to be re-confirmed in 2020 or 2021. Not sure if the Czechs have done that.

Unfortunately, :IND Fouaad Mirza had a run-out late on the course today. No MER this weekend.

 

He is now too seriously running out of time and opportunities.

Oh, did not know this rule. I will contact Czech equestrian federation and will see what they say....

Canadian selection season for dressage is in full swing. At this moment, this appears to be the likely team for Tokyo...

 

Lindsay Kellock (Sebastien)

Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu (All In)

Christ von Martels (Eclips)

Reserve: Naima Moreira-Laliberte (Statesman)

 

Which would be too bad for Moreira-Laliberte... She was the shooting star in 2020, but is struggling with consistency this year. And on top of that, she was apparently in an auto accident last week.

 

Seems to me Kellock is getting slightly overscored in these North American competitions. Would not be surprised one bit if the Olympic judges massacre her for piaffe, and cause her to bomb out in Tokyo with 69% or something.

Strzegom again in two weeks probably.

 

For Dajara it is not looking good at all. It is never easy for a horse to break their refusal streak once it is established (especially under less experienced riders like Mirza). There is a hope yet with Seigneur Medicott, though.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
