Equestrian Federation of Ukraine has approved the qualification procedure of the athletes for the participation at XXX summer Olympic Games 2012 in London in Dressage. On April, 6 there was held a meeting in the Equestrian Federation of Ukraine, on the agenda of which the plans concerning preparation and participation of Ukrainian athletes at the Olympic Games 2012 in London were discussed. The meeting was attended by Natalia Prysyazhnyuk, Secretary General of Equestrian Federation of Ukraine, Andrey Petrov, state trainer of Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport of Ukraine, Yuriy Kovshov, the member of board of the Equestrian Federation of Ukraine and the personal trainer of Svitlana Kiseliova, Iryna Shulha, the member of board of the Equestrian Federation Of Ukraine, Mykhail Parkhomchuk, director of Vian Group company (a long-term partner of Equestrian Federation of Ukraine on the organization and sponsorship of dressage competitions in Ukraine). The members of the meeting took the following into consideration:
1. Ukraine gained the right to be represented with one athlete at XXX summer Olympic Games in London, in Dressage competitions.
2. National Olympic Committee of Ukraine is interested in the fact that the country will be represented by the strongest athlete as of the end of June, 2012, i.e. one month before the Olympic Games.
3. The participant of the Olympic Games has to be defined in fair circumstances at the big event under the conditions similar to that of Olympic Games as much as possible.
The members of the meeting took the following decision:
According to the results of Grand Prix that will be held on May, 12, 2012 in Zhashkiv, define the line-up of the Ukrainian dressage team, which will participate in one of the events taking place in Western Europe in the period 15 June – 9 July, 2012. Svitlana Kiseliova as a leader of the FEI World Individual Dressage Ranking among the Ukrainian riders gets the place in team automatically and is allowed not to participate in the qualifying competitions in Zhashkiv. The rider who shows the best result in Grand Prix in one of the events taking place in Western Europe in the period 15 June – 9 July, 2012, will get the right to represent Ukraine at the Olympic Games. If the difference between the best result and the result of the next rider is less than 0.5 %, the advantage will get the rider whose position in the FEI World Individual Dressage Ranking as of June 2012 is higher. Для тех, кому лень читать, перескажу. Суть в том, что участник Олимпийских Игр от Украины будет определён по итогам одного из крупных европейских турниров (по всей видимости, CDI в Роттердаме), где будет стартовать команда Украины, избранная по итогам жашковского майского турнира.
Upd: Светлана Киселёва входит в команду автоматически и может не принимать участие в Жашковском турнире.

У вас, общественность, какое мнение на этот счёт? Кто должен представлять Украину на Олимпиаде - всадник, который получил лицензию для страны и показывает достойные результаты уже несколько лет или всадник, который вероятно получит оценки выше остальных украинских претендентов только на одном турнире?
