dcro 10,179 Posted June 22, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Boyd Martin got selected on Luke 140, but will ride Tsetserleg. Which is awesome since Tsetserleg was named after a town in Mongolia. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted June 23, 2021 #22 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Nominated entries are out. This includes all reserves, but is pretty final. Looks like Belarus withdrew from dressage and got replaced by Estonia! This means Slovakia either declined or is not eligible, I will try to get some info. Ireland situation is still not resolved. Either FEI is giving them space to enter a team, or they are considering whether to give them a reallocation. There is no info whether Belgium can actually enter one or three riders at this point.

dcro 10,179 Posted June 23, 2021 #24 Share Posted June 23, 2021 And there it is... Michael Bugan's ride For President is listed as Austrian-owned. I should have kept track of this. https://data.fei.org/Horse/Detail.aspx?p=33E5A63F3E42AB74B83DD58ABE7089BD So either his team never intended to take part in Tokyo, or they didn't change the nationality because they never anticipated a reallocation coming. I kind of hope it's the former... @hckošice #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not found anything in our federation website or social medias, not a single mention about eventual Olympics..so it may be they never even intended to qualify Also watching his instagram I see the guy wrote only in German, is he even slovak to start with ? https://www.instagram.com/p/CO76L72pveq/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Beginnings I grew up on a farm in Slovakia. There, I made my first attempts at riding on the back of a goat! It was in the School for Horse Management in Šaľa, where I went through a tough learning curve: breaking in young horses was part of the daily routine, and if you wanted to succeed you needed to lose your fear of falling off. I never had that fear anyway. Instead, I discovered my passion for working with young horses and this eventually became my profession. https://www.michaelbugan.com/english/ Oh well. We'll see if anything changes going forward. hckošice 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very reminiscent of the Pyeonchang bobsleigh fiasco. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
