That was her last chance to get selected. Swiss selectors apparently wanted to see a cross-country round with no refusals. Oh crap...can someone miss out on the Olympics in a more sad way apart from injuries? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the case of internal Swiss rules and they weren't fulfilled by enough riders in the country, that's why they resign, do I get it right?

dcro 10,179 Posted June 28, 2016 Author #35 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Australia has finalised their jumping team. James Paterson-Robinson (Amarillo) Matt Williams (Valinski) They join the previously selected Scott Keach and Edwina Tops-Alexander. Australia has also published the selection ranking for their dressage team. According to selection policy, the top 4 will be selected. Actually, top 5 athletes as 61-year old Mary Hanna can't compete on two horses. Actually, Mary Hanna (1954) should be the oldest female athlete in Rio. Anyway, she was the oldest back in 2012 so you'd think she'll repeat that. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEI didn't publish anything. No idea how Italy got that quota... Unless Switzerland went completely crazy and refused all of their quotas as Italy was only the 3rd reserve (behind Poland and Belarus)... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
