Anna Louis Ross (Habouche) Lewis Carrier (Diego V) Fiona Bigwood (Daytona Platinum) Abigail Lyle (Farrell) Theodora Livanos (Robinvale) A mostly local group competed in Addlington, not too surprising as most of the scheduled events across Great Britain are in the summer months. Only two riders not from Great Britain or Ireland competed. One of those, Livanos is the first Greek athlete to get an MER result during this Olympic cycle.

Dressage Wellington CDI5* (Qual for GPFS) Results The following have achieved 2/2 MER result Ashley Holzer (Valentine) Dong Seon Kim (Galleria's Bohemian) There are two CDI5* Grand Prix events listed, looking at the rules I think they are both eligible for MER. Most of the riders here have already completed their certificate of eligibility. Kim becomes the first South Korean this cycle to complete the eligibility requirements. Dressage Wellington CDI5* (Qual for GPS) Results The following have achieved 2/2 MER result Laurence Vanommeslaghe (Havalon) Likewise in this Grand Prix event only one person grabbed a new MER result.

>67% average in eligible Grand Prix events and a Level 4 judge from a different nation than the rider must give a score of >67% in the same event. To get the full certificate of eligibility the rider/horse pair must do this twice.

Europe has had a relatively good tournament with all five teams avoid having to qualify again which opens up the possibility of Spain and France/Germany qualifying next time. WBSC is obviously trying to get Europe more involved in their quest of Olympic inclusion. The hard part is getting things a bit more competitive in Africa and beyond just South Africa (Nigeria and Uganda have historically been the next best nations). Also getting China back on board as a depth team or getting the Philippines more interested would be very helpful too.

A bunch of Spanish riders picked up an MER result. Glinka now has two horses with MER, but will likely use Aachen as her main horse for qualification purposes. Dressage Temecula CDI3* Results No eligible riders obtained MER No one got above 67% at Temecula

If it came down to it, Japan could qualify two athletes at the World Surfing Games. It was clear that the third quota was made for so it was kind of funny that a different nation got it.

Championship Tour Olympic Quota Simulation (After Three Events) Men Jack Robinson Joao Chianca Filipe Toledo Griffin Colapinto Leonardo Fioravanti Callum Robson John John Florence Rio Waida Jordy Smith Matthew McGillivray Chianca's victory places him as the top ranked Brazilian. Toledo's poor performance has allowed Caio Ibelli to be within striking distance. Callum Robson is now the second Australian thanks to his semifinal appearance. Rio Waida moves up to a safer position and with the mid-season cut-off approaching the race among the non-American/Australian/Brazilian spots is looking to be between five athletes (the four list above plus Igarashi). Women Molly Picklum Carissa Moore Caitlin Simmers Tyler Wright Tatiana Weston-Webb Brisa Hennessy Teresa Bonvalot Johanne Defay Simmers takes the second USA quota from Bryan thanks to her win. Not much more to discuss.

The third event in concluded today. Chianca defeated Robinson in the men's event while in the women's event, Simmers won against Conlogue. Results, including videos can be viewed here.
