So Ukraine will start? It is a fraud. Olympic quota should be for next athlete in ranking, not country. This is cheating..

Yes, they will...

 

Well, this rule was known from the start. Ukraine did everything by-the-book to keep that individual place.

 

But nevertheless, Poland has been really unlucky. :facepalm: First they chose the tougher tournament in Moscow (where they lost to Israel by 1 pen), and then they witnessed Ukraine failing to keep their team spot and taking the individual spot instead...

It is not problem but in this case individual ranking is useless. For example riders from Turkey and Poland had started in many events for points and now "anonymous" rider can start (group C has not rich "riders" with many top level horses). And he has a standard from competition which was beyond ranking? FEI "killing" some europeans nations. For example nations from group C cannot start in some events with group A, B in team competitions.

What the hell?

 

Apparently a withdrawn eventing quota (of an unspecified origin) got reallocated to... :MAS Malaysia in dressage? :yikes: Presumably the withdrawn eventing quota is really Pakistan from the Group F, but how on earth can that same quota end up going to the different discipline, and to the different Group (G)?

 

Either Qabil Ambak has no clue what he is talking about, or FEI better get their lawyers on speed dial. :facepalm:

Ellen Birgitte Farbrot spent the spring chasing MER. She succeeded. But now she withdraws suddenly.

:NOR Norway has nobody else, so this quota will get reallocated to :ITA Italy!

At this point, they are dropping like flies. :yikes:

 

Another Irish Girl in Green who achieved the historic qualification - Kate Dwyer - is out as she announced pregnancy.

Ireland will now have to scratch the bottom of the barrel.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
