Equestrian Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

Will we even be able to make a team at this rate? :d 

Well, Anna Merveldt and Heike Holstein are still going strong, and improving since their debut season aboard new horses in 2019.

 

James Connor and Dane Rawlins have obtained the requirements so I guess one of them will complete the team (Connor has slightly higher scores, while Rawlins has more international experience at his side).

Is Roland Tong still competing, haven't heard about him in a while, not that he was posting big scores. Sad that our historic first dressage team qualification has been hit with so much setbacks. But in a way I am happy that many of the lesser known riders will get a chance as it will be good building for the next cycle. We can't rely on one or 2 riders to keep doing the business. And if you asked me 10 years ago about us having a team in dressage I would have said it was fantasy :d

agreed though, it’s great to see

 

3 years ago I would have said it was highly unlikely but not fantasy since we at least had riders competing on the circuit and posting decent, if not wonderful scores. It is definitely growing as a discipline and even our eventers are much improved in dressage compared to a few cycles ago when it saw all chances evaporate after the dressage element.

He had a new horse few years ago, but never campaigned him to some championships.

 

Otherwise, there is Alex Baker (25yo), who still needs one more MER score to be a possible contender for Tokyo.

New updates are coming through by the minute...

https://www.eurodressage.com/2021/06/04/olympic-slots-reshuffled-after-wave-withdrawals-riders-declining-go-tokyo

 

So it was :NZL New Zealand who withdrew from dressage. They should be replaced by :MAS Malaysia (MER not confirmed), next in line is :SGP Singapore (MER not confirmed), then :IND India (MER not confirmed), and then finally :HKG Hong Kong (MER confirmed). :d Not surprising to have so many incomplete MERs, as riders from these nations are not very active right now as they did not expect to have a shot at the Olympics.

 

:NOR Norway is replaced by :ITA Italy as expected.

 

New bit of news about Ireland claims that Anna Merveldt's horse may have picked up an injury... Damn. If they forfeit a team, they will no longer be allowed to send any individuals as well. Let's hope it will not come down to that!

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
    • what the heck ? how are some rowers who placed 5th at worlds more of a breakthrough of the year then Tajus Juška ? ,especially after the season that he had ? i need to know who actually voted for them,this is utterly stupid.
