We have dreamt of this global event; equestrian sport returning at the highest international level to one of its historic birthplaces, we have wished for this with all our hearts; today, I am particularly proud, on behalf of the whole team at GL events Equestrian Sport and our key partners, amongst whom Longines, the Fédération Equestre Internationale and the Fédération Française d’Equitation, to present the results of a great deal of passion and work over several years to you. © PhilipponJoël Paris has not been the venue for a world equestrian event of this kind for over 25 years; now that there is a new sporting wind blowing through the City of Light, which has its sights set on the 2024 Olympic Games, we are thrilled by the trust that the institutions, riders, owners, sponsors and the public have placed in us by entrusting us with the organisation of these Finals in the AccorHotels Arena. We hope that it will be an amazing and memorable experience. It is a huge challenge, but the celebration will be all the better for it. Bringing together the best riders of today and tomorrow, in this renovated cauldron, where some of the greatest pages in the history of our sport have been written: what an honour! I would like to spare a thought for Jacinte Giscard d’Estaing who passed away a few weeks ago. Jacinte was one of the first to see the potential of the GL events Group for organising FEI World Cup Jumping legs. It was in Lyon in 2009. She has left an indelible mark on the major French equestrian events and these finals in Paris are dedicated to her. So on behalf of all your hosts, organisers, private and public partners, inhabitants of Paris and the Parisian region, I would like to welcome you to Paris and the amazing Longines FEI World Cup Jumping and the FEI World Cup Dressage Finals. 3 THE FINALS IN A FEW FIGURES .

We look forward to seeing you from 11 to 15 April 2018. A RARE EVENT Intense moments of sport in front of 40,000 spectators throughout the whole the event, in a brand-new arena: this is what awaits Parisian and international audiences at the AccorHotels Arena from 11 to 15 April 2018, thanks to the GL events Group, Longines, the Fédération Equestre Internationale and the Fédération Française d'Equitation. It is only the third time that France will simultaneously host both the jumping and dressage finals, which attract the best riders on the planet every year. With regards to jumping, these "indoor world championships" were invented in 1978, by a Swiss journalist, Max Ammann at the request of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, the then president of the Fédération Equestre Internationale. They were modelled on the skiing World Cup and aimed at improving media coverage of horse riding. It is a global competition bringing together the best riders in the world who must qualify for the event on their own continents through regional leagues. The European league is recognised as the most difficult and the thirteen qualifying legs include two French cities, Lyon in November and Bordeaux in February. PARIS AND THE FEI WORLD CUPS: SOME THE GREATEST PAGES OF EQUESTRIAN HISTORY Ever since the Palais Omnisport de Paris-Bercy opened in 1984, horses and the Jumping World Cup have written some great pages of their history in the French capital. The first winner of a Grand Prix World Cup leg in Bercy, in April 1984, was Fritz Ligges, riding Ramzes ahead of the Brazilian wizard Nelson Pessoa on Larramy. The venue went on to host some magnificent sporting occasions including, in 1987, the first World Cup final ever to be held in France, won by the American rider Katherine Burdsall and The Natural, the first jumping horse to be sold for over $1 million. Four years later, in 1991, the first French World Cup Dressage Final saw victory of the black stallion Matador, ridden by Finland’s Kyra Kyrklund. On the show jumping circuit, it was the era of the historic duels between Jappeloup (the winner in 1986) and Milton (victory over Jappeloup in 1988, and winner again in 1990). Moreover, it was at the truly magical POPB that Great Britain's John Whitaker chose to ride in 1992 to bid farewell to this horse that has left an indelible mark on its sport. The AccorHotels Arena was renovated in 2015 and is once again ready to resonate to the sound of the hooves of this year’s greatest horses. A sound that audiences here will soon find familiar: both the Longines FEI Jumping and the FEI Dressage Finals are set to become regular features in Paris. The story begins again. The story continues.

We’re going to do something else. Um… First of all, let me ask you the most important thing. How is Bonfire? 00:00:32:25 Anky van Grunsven: Bonfire’s great! He’s 21 now and still fit. (I) ride him five times a week like fifteen minutes, twenty minutes and for the rest he’s in the fields with a little Shetland pony, having fun. 00:00:46:03 Melvin Cox: Last night when you, when you showed the tape of the Olympic Games… I have the tape at home; I watched it a week ago. But, every time I see it, I still get chills. And so there’s just such a respect for what you and Bonfire were able to accomplish at the last Olympics in Australia. How can you ever top that? 00:01:09:12 Anky van Grunsven: I don’t want to top what I had with Bonfire. I don’t want that, I think its impossible and I think it’s special what we did together. 1 And, the only thing that I try to achieve with my other horses is to have a lot of fun as well, and to see how far I can get.

  • USET Foundation NEWS
    USET Foundation NEWS UNITED STATES EQUESTRIAN TEAM FOUNDATION • VOLUME 14, ISSUE 3 • WINTER 2015 FOUNDATION SUPPORT Grants Athletes’ Team Dreams Competing at the top of equestrian sport and bringing home medals takes more than just drive and dedication in the modern era of show jumping, dressage and eventing. The financial commitment of competition has become prohibitive for some athletes, but thanks to the generous donors at the USET Foundation, riders like Callan Solem, Laura Graves and Matthew Brown have been able to reach their goals through grants and funding, bring- ing home top honors for the United States. SHOW JUMPING Callan Solem In equestrian sport, all junior riders dream of making it to the top of the sport and competing at the Grand Prix level, but the say- ing “it takes a village,” truly applies for the nation’s top show jump- ers. Callan Solem began her riding career as a working student for Carol Thompson, who recognized Solem’s talent and passion for the sport right away. With a dedication to her job and a love for the horses, Solem became the professional rider for Thompson in 1997, and in 2010 began riding for Virginia and Collin McNeil. Over the years, Solem has earned multiple top placings at some of the country’s biggest events, and has represented the United States at Nations Cup competitions in Europe and Mexico. But to be a part of the U.S. Show Jumping Team, it has taken more than just talent and dedication; it has taken the support of organi- zations like the USET Foundation.

  • Sport Tech in France
    SPORT TECH IN FRANCE KEY INFO IN 10POINTS TECH & STARTUPS MAY 2019 SPORTY AND CONNECTED France has more than 16 million sports licensees, and national 1 sports expenditure in 2016 was estimated at €37.7 billion (Ministry of Sports, National Assembly, 2018). In 2016, 14% of French people had a connected watch and 9% had a connected bracelet, while 43% and 3%, respectively, planned to equip themselves with these items in the future. (DGE 2018) A SPRINGBOARD FOR STARTUPS Since 2015, Le Tremplin, the first incubator dedicated to sport, 2 has incubated more than 60 startups, 10% of which are of foreign origin. Among the startups incubated was Piq, the French leader in artificial intelligence for use in sport, which works in partnership with equipment manufacturers such as Rossignol and Babolat. FRENCH SPORT TECH IN LAS VEGAS In 2019, nearly a dozen Sport Tech startups attended the 3 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
