Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[dcro 10,210]

JUSTICE IS SERVED

 

CAS announced that Mathilda Karlsson will have her points reinstated. She is therefore qualified for the Olympic Games.

 

Honestly, it is disgusting how an international federation decided to punish athletes for their own administrative shortcomings and mistakes. And then that decision got upheld by the FEI tribunal as well! Cases like these should never have to appear before CAS.

Just to confirm, Czech riders (namely Kellnerova, Opatrny, Vingralkova and Zvara) have re-confirmed their MERs after 2019. @Jan Linha

 

As of today, China and Ukraine still have nobody with (re-confirmed) MER.

 

Should China fail to obtain their MERs, Canada will be given another chance.

EDIT: China actually has one rider, but still needs another two.

Wow, thanks a lot for the information. I knew that they all re-confirmed their MER last year (2020). And for all eventing and jumping. What I read above is that all the competitors are supposed to re-confirm the MER also in the 2021 season. That is why I was asking in our Federation but haven't got their reply yet. .... If it was enough from 2020, they all are secured and can go. If it must be re-confirmed in 2021, then I don't know yet.

So if China fails to meet the standard....Canada qualifies a team in jumping?
