Commentators still talking about Bode Miller and how much they miss him. Ugh.

Yes and yes.

There are no more events this year, however we should expect to see them come springtime. MER deadline for the individuals is June 2020.

It looks like it, but it's not official yet.

Saleh's judging aside, Austrians still did pretty good job today. Most likely they have secured team qualification, irregardless of what happens with South Africa. Reallocation list after Salzburg... 196 211

Just a normal day in the office for Mr. Saleh... Today he generously scored Barbancon (one wonders how much she would have been scoring had she stayed Spanish ), while at the same time he played all conservative with Max-Theurer and other Austrians... Austrian judges meanwhile are not producing strange scores. At all. Probably they are not held at gunpoint from their federation.

That's not confirmed. Essentially anyome can simply enter the event and get away with a free quota, even if that is unlikely with Africa.

To be fair, my question was mainly about whether there are users who can do it without tutorial.

Soo.... Anyone knows how to make a Windsor knot?

But then again, after hearing how much Eurosport player costs in other countries, $59 for FEItv annual subscription no longer feels pricey.

That seems a lot. Here it is 2.99 EUR per month.

It almost looks like I took a break from prediction contests to work on my form.

So once again 7th place gets you much easier group than 5th place. Nice.

Korean rider was having a clear round, but then he jumped the wrong last fence.

Against all odds...

Brazilians defeated Canada for the quota in eventing though. And yes, South Africa needs one more member to complete the team.

Most likely yes. Karaevli would need some massive results to overtake him.

Brazil has effectivelly lost their dressage team. Joao Victor Oliva apparently withdrew from Salzburg this week, and there is nobody entered for Frankfurt in two weeks. After Frankfurt there is only one more event left, but that's not enough since Brazilians still need to enter and get required scores at two different events... But like I said before, these indoor events are not really favorable for desperate qualification attempts. Frankfurt for example traditionally hosts Louisidor Cup and Nurnberger Burg Pokal finals, so that leaves very, very little room for international participation...

Apparently our NOC will increase its budget by close to 20% next year. Sounds like a desperate attempt to prevent record low participation in Tokyo.

Yeah, I don't think scrapping mixed-NOC events will do anything for YOG. The real reason why they can't be taken seriously is ridiculously limited number of athletes, and even more ridiculous qualification systems. Oh, and the fact that they are mindlessly held every 4 years, meaning some generations can never even take part in them. Youth Olympics are just milking their "Olympic" name, and that's basically all they have been from the start.

Yeah, but somewhat disappointingly they streamed everything but cross-country. Nevertheless, dressage events had a very good guest commentator.

Sounds to me like the real problem may be remembering all those ingredients.
