dcro 10,179 Posted June 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2019 According to FEI entries (which are sometimes incomplete), only Belarus and Russia will compete + an individual from Latvia. Kind of meh, I expected to see Poland and Estonia as well, though it's possible they felt like Russia was unbeatable anyway. Actually, only Belarus could possibly challenge the Russians, and even that is rather unlikely. Russia though very much deserves to finally qualify a dressage team. They never had a team after the Soviet times during which they were rather successful. Hell, they even defeated West Germany for the team gold at the Munich Olympics. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted June 17, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 17, 2019 That's a shame, but yeah Russia are going to be the heavy favourites. It's also less likely for a team to be eliminated in dressage than eventing/jumping so I guess other nations didn't want to waste money traveling there.

JoshMartini007 2,210 Posted June 22, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Nice to see Belarus trying to make this interesting, but I imagine it's downhill for them as they just used their best rider. At this point, they need a complete disaster from Russia's final two riders to have a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
