Maybe with Czech Republic it could be a problem, but even then it might not. Unlike Groups F/G event which is held at 3* level, Group C qualifier will also serve as 4* MER opportunity.

Indeed, and since we are talking eventing here, period for Certificate of Capability effectivelly ends in mid November. Add to that the required rest period of 4 weeks in between the attempts at long format 4* events, and there you have it, arguably the hardest minimum eligibility standards of all Olympic sports.

They might, but the main problem is the Certificate of Capability for the team event (meaning 3 riders with MER by December 31, otherwise team quota is gone). China will probably find the away. Alex Hua Tian is already established at the highest level, while Sun successfully stepped up to 4* last month... Hong Kong has some experience (Heffernan Ho competes at 4*, Lam is already show jumping Olympian). Thailand is just hopeless though, at least for now...

Group F nations: Group G nations: will be fielding teams in Saumur. China (4 riders will be chosen) Bao Yingfeng (Teseo) Bianba Ciren (Sultan de la Motte or Tropic d'Heauville) Alex Hua Tian (Don Geniro or PSH Convivial) Liang Ruiji (Agora de Bordenave or Crackerjack) Sun Huadong (Lady Chin van't Moerven Z) Hong Kong Thomas Heffernan Ho (Jockey Club Charlene OLD or Tayberry) Annie Ho (Lost in Translation or MJI Belle Bonita) Patrick Lam (Jockey Club Weronique) Thailand Arinadtha Chavatanont (Bolleybawn Prince) Weerapat Pitakanonda (Chateau de Versailles M25) Korntawat Samran (Luminous) Supanut Wannakool (Tzar of Her Dreams)

Group C nations: However, will be the only ones entering a team in Baborowko.

Well, if he is not leading, then he has not secured anything.

So much for Roglic securing a win after the prologue...

Petacchi was in Giro d'Italia?

Lol, what a meltdown for Olujić.

Well, even one can be enough for individual qualification.

Did bestmen hack heywoodu's profile?

I have no idea if you are being sarcastic or not...

Tom will not be happy to hear this.

Taekwondo still doesn't have a proper results system for the World championships? Unbelieveable.

Yeah, there is only a smoking gun.

At this rate we might as well see Guatemala and Peru with double representation in respective trap events. Even with USA not taking many quotas on global stage, Pan America should see a substantial increase in participation, as now they have considerably more continental spots.

Tour de France here we come.

Last time I activelly followed Eurovision was back when I was following F1. I wonder if it's correlated.

Ugandan shooter didn't start the competition. I wonder if it is because of safety concerns, since according to his ISSF profile he never actually entered an ISSF competition before.

Entries are out for the Groups F/G qualification event. China (4 riders will be chosen) Bao Yingfeng (Teseo) Bianba Ciren (Sultan de la Motte or Tropic d'Heauville) Alex Hua Tian (Don Geniro or PSH Convivial) Liang Ruiji (Agora de Bordenave or Crackerjack) Sun Huadong (Lady Chin van't Moerven Z) Hong Kong Thomas Heffernan Ho (Jockey Club Charlene OLD or Tayberry) Annie Ho (Lost in Translation or MJI Belle Bonita) Patrick Lam (Jockey Club Weronique) Thailand Arinadtha Chavatanont (Bolleybawn Prince) Weerapat Pitakanonda (Chateau de Versailles M25) Korntawat Samran (Luminous) Supanut Wannakool (Tzar of Her Dreams) Looks like South Africa will not be taking part. Therefore, two nations between will qualify an eventing team. Although, it's not quite that simple. For starters, at least 3 team members need to complete the event for the nation to be eligible. 1000+ team penalties will not get you anything.

Well, show presenter basically said the same thing (in so many words), because of course.

Today's forecast? Sunny!
