However, latest reports are saying that won't happen till November/December. Qualificatoins will be very much on at that point (they already are).

Are there individual ranking quotas up for grabs? Bermuda does have a decent rider based in Europe who might be going for Pan Ams,

Well, at least nobody compares it to "Poodle Scuba Diving" on this forum, so I'll take it...

Naah, if you watch the match you'll see that the Dutch again play like bullies.

Briliant scores from Yvonne Losos de Muniz and the Guatemalan. Dominican Republic might shock Mexico for team gold. Colombia meanwhile is outside medals. Looks like they lost ground in dressage like in eventing. I'm quite sure they've never failed to win a medal in team dressage, and now they'll fail to do so on the home ground!

Lipa. Kuna is our euro, while lipa is our cent. In Engilsh, kuna means marten (animal), lipa means linden (tree).

Lowest currency here is 5lp (which is less than 1c ). There used to be 1lp and 2lp, but not anymore.

I am not alone like in 2017.

Dressage team looks quite fine. Rothenberger withdrew from Aachen due to slight infection that Cosmo got. He should be safe for Tryon, where he could as well take both team and individual golds. It's similar with Werth who withdrew Weihegold from Aachen and entered Emilio/Bella Rose instead (Bella Rose is finally back after 3.5 years!). Sprehe withdrew Desperados from both German championships last month and now Aachen, so I'd say she's probably out of it. But she may not be needed as Rothenberger, Werth, Langehanenberg + one of Schneider/von Bredow-Werndl should be big favorites. As for eventing, I don't think Germany is the favorite at this point. Jung is having a poor season (already 2017 was quite poor for his standards). Klimke could be the best, though she had a refusal in Aachen. Krajewski has some good wins this season (Bramham, German championships, Aachen), but she is yet to do anything at the championships. Aside from those three, there isn't much depth in German eventing. I doubt Sandra Auffarth will be going, as these days it seems like she is mainly building a team of younger horses. Kai Ruder looked good in recent times, but not so much in Aachen. Hoy has decided not to chase team selection anymore at the start of 2018.

Thanks for the update! Sadly, it looks like Zibrandtsen's withdrawal during Aachen was more serious than it looked. Without her, Danish medal chances are likely gone as Dahl is quite inconsistent while Jaeger & Belstaff very inexperienced (they literally have only two Grand Prix internationals on record, although with decent scores).

Only 27 here today... Yet to see a true +35 summer day. It's very unusual.

Was Apache 2 test successful?

Fijian player basically stepped over a Kiwi while running for a try.

South Africa

Briliant bronze for Barbados. Hopefully they'll take up Pan American quota and then eventually push for Tokyo. It will be a long road to Tokyo, They could get Group D quota without battle, but it's the minimum requirements that are the main problem. They'll need 3* qualification for Olympics, and this competition for example was only 1*. Pan Ams (2*) should be a good stepping stone, however they'll need to complete some 3* next year already to have any chance.

Irish kicker (or however do you call that role) has missed 4/5 conversions.

Looks like Asia became really bad... 7:0, and it's not even a halftime.

Jankunas sounds very Lithuanian.

They'll probably extend the time limit by 20-25%.

"He and his twin brother Olivier are both sons of Ludo Philippaerts." Interesting use of word "both". But yes, twins usually have the same parents.

Final competition in Aachen, show jumping Grand Prix has just started. Live results - Live streaming

Miroitawa and Someity both sound very unmemorable. Nobody will remember them.
