Do we know for sure now that Ireland won't send a dressage team and Belgium gets the spot or are we still pending some decision? 

I thought it was over once :IRL Dane Rawlins wrote: "We lost. Thanks for the support. Time to move on.", following the second appeal this Friday.


But apparently, with only 24 hours to go, Dressage Ireland have called upon the Irish Minister of Sport to intervene. :yikes: What a mess.


So we should know by tomorrow at the latest.

@phelps So Jessica is going after all :d (though, potentially, only as a reserve - which is to be named from these four).

 

Looks like the selectors left only one spot for those less experienced. I would have preferred to see Lucy Deslauriers, and especially Brian Moggre, but these two ended up as picks #5-6.

Pawlak is a bad choice :/

For me she is the best* choice. Olympics are not a dressage competition. She will be a worthy trail-blazer.

 

*Next to Spisak, who is however more unpredictable. With some luck, he could score Top 10, but then again, he may not complete...
