dcro 10,179 Posted July 19, 2021 #153 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Very interesting read about the dressage competition of Tokyo 1964. Part 1 focuses on the background (dressage was held under the IOC's scrutiny at the time due to the nationalistic judging from 1956). It also focuses on the adventurous journeys to Tokyo. https://www.eurodressage.com/2021/07/18/1964-tokyo-olympics-team-competition-jeopardy-dangerous-travels-tokyo-air-and-sea #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted July 19, 2021 #155 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Piggy March & Brookfield Inocent (traveling reserves) are out, and Rosalind Canter & Allstar B are in for the British eventing team. Quite dubious reasoning was given... No injury or whatever. It just seems as though being a reserve was beneath the expectations of 'Piggy' March. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted July 20, 2021 #156 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Equiratings prediction for the individual eventing. https://prediction-centre.equiratings.com/competitions/tokyo_2 Seems like their model still has a major weakness. They value every 4*/5* competition the same, and that's just not the case in practice. Andrey Mitin having 2% chance of Top 10 is just wrong. It's closer to 0.0002%. Krajewski is hilariously overrated. Jung / the Brits are somewhat overrated too. They are not that dominant. Some names are underrated. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot to like about Watson & Flamenco, but they had a drive-by at the (in)famous Luhmuhlen colorful bird obstacle in 2019 so... They have a tainted record when it matters most. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
