dcro 10,172 Posted September 7, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just catching up with the Day 1 of the European Dressage Championships. What a test for Vanagaite. "Only" 66% today, but there is so much more in the bag with more practice. She was trending at 71-72% for a good while. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad his horse had an off day in Tokyo (spooked at a camera person). Finland is having a nuts championships across the board. Their team result will smash their usual placing (12th-14th).

dcro 10,172 Posted September 8, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Germany gold, Gee Bee silver, Denmark bronze. GB getting overscored again and again, but nothing new here. I guess that lottery funding must be going straight into judges pockets. Hughes was awarded 74% for a sloppy test worth of maybe 69%. Dufour dropped the silver for Denmark on her own though (spook coming out of pirouette), much like she did at Rotterdam 2019 (and possibly in Tokyo too...). Every time it happened on that first pirouette. And on two different horses. Unbelieveable. Sweden got 4th. Nilshagen was severely underscored. But the real stars are the "B" nations for whom this event was basically staged... Finland had three riders scoring over 70%! Crazy. Usually they are happy to have one breaking this psychological barrier, but this time they collectively stepped up to the team total of 218% and 6th place. They also have three riders advancing to the Special (Top 30), which is unheard of. Wagner outscored two (!) Dutch team riders with 73%. Aniko Losonczy 29th with 70.046%. And she even came back from a large error mid-test, so good on her. She has qualified for the next round which is massive for Hungary. @Vektor Bugan got 50th. Improved his score from Rotterdam, but dropped two places. Glinka and Vanagaite debuted their respective nations finishing 57th and 58th, respectively.

Grassmarket 2,715 Posted September 10, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2021 BBC has live coverage, which I think is otherwise on the FEI’s pay-tv system https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/equestrian/58262817 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted September 10, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Well, the judges got the podium right this time. Gold for von Bredow-Werndl, silver for Werth, but bronze for Dufour this time in the special. Doesn't make up for Tokyo though. Especially since Dufour lost the silver on the final centerline. But then again, Bohemian is a sensitive horse so I guess we will have to get used to these blips. Ted 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
