What has happened is the consequence of the new rule to count only the 4 best scores in one year. This way, it's impossible to get a real overview of the quality and consistency of a horse/rider. The possibilities for manipulation and strange outcomings are too high, if one single score (or maybe two) has a huge influence on the qualification.
We therefore ask the FEI to reinvestigate the scores of every single competitor that led to the qualification and draw the consequences, however they may look like.

I personally wish Gonçalo, Mário and Batuta all the best and cross my fingers for a decision which leads to a qualification and a journey to Rio :-)
