Dinja van Liere celebrated her selection yesterday like this. And today she finds out she can't go as her horse Hermes, is in fact, listed as German owned and therefore ineligible. https://www.eurodressage.com/2021/07/03/dinja-van-lieres-hermes-not-eligible-dutch-olympic-team-selection @heywoodu Well, bye bye to our chances of winning a (bronze) medal in the team event. The Dutch federation finally found the missing link for a decent team result, but after this misstep, we definitely can forget a medal. So Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud are searching now for a third rider. Don't know yet who qualifies as the third Dutch team member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just decided, after the Nations Cup today, that her young short-listed horse Garant is not quite ready for an Olympic caliber tournament. I do like the fact that she's not trying to push a horse beyond it's limits. Makes me cheer for her in the future. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Different venues having different colour schemes has been done ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 3, 2021 #98 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I guess the traditional plentiful flower arrangements are not in the venue yet... Hopefully they didn't make some major budget cuts in this department. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 3, 2021 #99 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Germany - Jumping Daniel Deusser (Killer Queen) Christian Kukuk (Mumbai) Andre Thieme (Chakaria) Reserve: Maurice Tebbel (Don Diarado) The German federation is not even hiding it. They have confirmed that Maurice Tebbel will step in for the team competition. https://www.pferd-aktuell.de/news/aktuelle-meldungen/olympische-spiele/springen-kandidaten-fuer-olympische-spiele-benannt There will be a lot of this in jumping. Individual and team competitions will be held completely separately, with the individual jumping coming first. Putting in a substitution gives you a fresh horse for the 'main' (team) competition. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 4, 2021 #100 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Belgium - Team dressage Domien Michiels (Intermezzo van het Meerdaalhof) Larissa Pauluis (Flambeau) Laurence Roos (Fil Rouge) Reserve: Alexa Fairchild (Dabanos) If you are looking for a new athlete to cheer for, then look no further than Larissa Pauluis... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
