Zabelinskaya won medals in omnium and madison at the Asian championships. She's back on track at the age of 39 (no pun intended).

No WEL stage this week, but some memorable videos from previous (Mechelen) stage were uploaded. Maria Caetano & Coroado. Maria became the first Portuguese rider ever to break 80%, while Coroado became the first Lusitano-bred horse to do it. Both truly historic achievements for Portugal and Iberian horses. Judy Reynolds & Vancouver debuted their new freestyle with the most Irish music ever. It should have been presented at WEG, but obviously that competition got cancelled due to the hurricane.

Western European League, Stage 10 (Basel, Switzerland) Martin Fuchs (Clooney) - 0/0/37.61 Marc Houtzager (Sterrehof's Calimero) - 0/0/38.84 Pieter Devos (Apart) - 0/4/36.98 Full results... WEL Standings

Martin Fuchs is on fire this season. Only 3 starts, but every time a podium.

Schwarz is the choker of the moment, lol. 6th place. We move up from 7th. And if I'm not mistaken, we should have 3 in top 30 for the next race.

Kolega was going at the snail pace in first 10 seconds.

Best of times, worst of times...

EPIC run for Kolega!

First ever win for Latvia!

3/5 teams failed to make exchange so far. Poland, Italy, Austria.

What a fail for Italy.

Standing sfuning?

4 straight misses for Bescond.

Why put Herrmann on the final leg?

Poliakova wants some more fan mail? Ok, this was pretty mean.

Kolega did it again! I'm so bummed for Vidović still. That was very much a run of the season for him.

And that's the end of Vidović's streak.

Myhrer is disaster.

And there goes the dream of Belgian Olympic relay.

Surprise, surprise, Barcelona will once again host the Nations Cup Final. Spain will therefore be prequalified as hosts. But I wouldn't get my hopes too high up. Spain has a history of flopping miserably at Barcelona finals.

Great first run for G/K and Sicss! Worst run of the season so far for S/K, disaster for G/G.

I can't.

It doesn't make sense to still push for 10,500 while allowing extra sports that also need to be inside that...

Not really. Quota allocation would need to be expanded to reach 12,000, while for reaching 10,500 some cuts are necessary. Just say no to further expansion and that's it.
