"Oh... She is quicker than a Kardashian marriage."

Drama in Compiegne. Cathrine Dufour could not convince Bohemian to enter the arena on Day 2. So they were eliminated. And since this competition has no discard scores (same as the Olympics), Team Denmark is eliminated as well, after holding the lead previously. Pretty nightmarish outcome for the Danes... Bohemian is a massive talent, no doubt about that, but damn... Just imagine this incident repeating in Tokyo, right when the medals are being decided... Back to the drawing board with Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and Kyra Kyrklund come Monday!

And that's a confirmation for Arinadtha Chavatanont (and therefore the whole Thai team) as well. PAK/ZIM will be replaced by Austria, and that is it for eventing reallocations, barring any injuries or late withdrawals.

He can't qualify anymore.

Too bad for the Caymans.

Ugh. Hopefully the States will eat Belarus alive...

Standings after Day 1. Compiegne organizers are using the dumb "Let's add up individual rankings to determine team results" approach... 11 12 40 Full results: Individual - https://results.worldsporttiming.com/event/44/competition/1142/result Team - https://results.worldsporttiming.com/event/44/championship/9/result Day of highs (Cassoe) and lows (Dufour) for Denmark. Video of each ride included in the individual results link.

The same happened to the Austrian tournament... Who went 3-0.

Wow, who said the Dutch are through?

It's raining cats and dogs out there just before Thailand is about to go... EDIT: Chavatanont clear as well. Final confirmation tomorrow!

Mirza clear aboard Dajara too, and still holding 1st and 2nd! This competition is becoming history-making for India. https://zawodykonne.com/zawody/199/tour/1/6?type=ranking

Gorša must be in the all-time low form. This was pathetic.

Mirza is home clear! A couple of iffy moments along the way (right corner somewhere in the middle, river crossing), but he made it happen.

So apparently Latvia got robbed of their place in the women's LW2x?

Ten teams will compete in Compiegne tomorrow! + individuals from https://results.worldsporttiming.com/event/44/competition/1142/startlist

Cape Verde and rhythmic gymnastics are like those newsletters you can never get rid off.

@Dolby Fouaad Mirza owned the dressage today. 1st + 2nd! https://zawodykonne.com/zawody/199/tour/1/52?type=ranking To qualify for Tokyo, he needs to obtain the MER on either Seigneur Medicott or Dajara, but of course qualifying them both and having options would be ideal. Live stream should be available here (only live and window-sized content available for non-subscribers, but more than enough to follow).

Please remove this bot.

When will you start? It would be more interesting than usual given the pandemic.

First major team announced! As I feared, Tamie Smith got disregarded. She is only the first, non-travelling reserve. Dutton and Martin renew their already permanent subscription of the U.S. team places. Liz Halliday-Sharp getting selected is pretty neat, though.
