This is slightly off subject but I notice Jitendarjit Singh Ahluwalia of India tried to qualify for Rio at dressage. He competed in eventing in Moscow in 1980 and not since

Possible - but looking less likely every day

At the British trials today World and Olympic 400m gold medalist Christine Ohourogu failed to reach the final. I think this is the end for her after winning medals at nine successive world/Olympic championships.

Amount of quotas is decided by success at previous World Championships. Because European boxers have won the most medals at the last 3 championships they get more quota

Looks like Jimmy Vicault may be out of the World Championships with an injury

Will mean more nations for dressage and show jumping and make very little difference to the results. However eventing will either mean easier cross country courses or less than half the teams finishing the event.

I think dcro and me just made the same joke at the same time...

Average age in the equestrian is younger than any other sport...

Same as Nacra 17 class that was in Rio only with hydrofoils (little wings) stuck to the bottom of the boat that makes it go faster

Announcement should be on IOC Youtube channel 1800 hrs Swiss time

My guess is that they'll take quotas from the big countries first. Countries that had 5 quotas go down to 4. 4 to 3 and so on. Remember that Guam and France, Laos and the USA all have only 1 vote for president of the UCI
