dcro 10,172 Posted December 16, 2019 Author #321 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Story on Brazil losing their dressage team Quote The whole effort of shipping horses and competing in Europe came after Brazilians have found out, at the Pan-Am Games, that the bronze medal wasn’t enough to secure the team slot. It seems like no one, not a single rider, not the national Brazilian Equestrian Federation (CBH - Confederação Brasileira de Hipismo), had carefully read the FEI Qualification System, which was published almost two years ago. Furthermore, CBH posted on its own website in April 2018 the FEI qualification rules for Tokyo. It's like I suspected all along. What a bunch of amateurs! Brazil had a long tradition of hosting 3* events, and this year they for whatever reason downgraded them to 2* events. It's the purest form of ignorance. mrv86 and Laraja 1 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's pretty sad... Sadly, they aren't the first or last federation to make that mistake. I'm not sure if the people in the Brazilian Equestrian Federation are paid, but if they are then there should be some firings. You can argue that language may have been a barrier (the qualification documents are published in English and French), but Google Translate exists and as soon as you start seeing things like MER in the eligibility section then it would be time to start asking questions. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted December 17, 2019 Author #323 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Finally some good results for Mathilda Karlsson... She overtakes Thailand, but is still well behind Hong Kong. Hong Kong riders still don't have MER though, so there may be some hope yet. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,077 Posted December 17, 2019 #324 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) officially disqualified in team jumping Really sad for Eric Lamaze, with his current health this is likely his last chance at Olympic glory. Hopefully he gets in? @dcro Edited December 17, 2019 by intoronto Benolympique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,418 Posted December 17, 2019 #325 Share Posted December 17, 2019 So this means qualifies then? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

dcro 10,172 Posted December 17, 2019 Author #326 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Here it is. Argentina gets a team (what a joy this must be for them), while Canada gets an individual spot instead... I just can't believe Canada will only have a dressage team. It's the complete opposite from Rio. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
