An interesting Nations Cup fact.......

[lucretia]

Entries for the first day of Promotional League Nations Cup in Athens are on the web site and it is interesting to see who has not sent a team........ here http://www.equestrian.org.gr/2009/english/index.htm

The link works but can't get the website to open up.

Give us a clue!

its a bit slow, click on programmes and results then CSI-W*** a box with start lists should appear! However suffice to say the Belgians and the italians have sent a team.......

The website is very badly designed, I had to resort to using Internet Explorer to get it to work!

If I'm not mistaken, the Belgians haven't sent a team either, they just have some individuals there. My guess would be that sending a team would be admitting defeat, which they don't want to do before they take the case the FEI Tribunal and/or the CAS.

bet you any money those riders are the team for them.....

Weird to be starting the new season of the Promotional League with rules for both Leagues and the 2010 dates still to be announced, but hey, it is the FEI of course!

Either way, I am sure the Belgians mean to go on the way they have started

. 2nd place but they get the full points as germany won but they are in the super league if I have understood correctly?

 

[lucretia]

your guess is as good as mine where the FEI rules are concerned!! x

 

[Attila_the_Hungry]

I guess this means I owe you a pound then!

I knew there was a reason I didn't bet.
