THE WORLD’S BEST RETURN TO THEIR PARSIAN GARDEN

In just one week’s time, from June 20 to 22, the Longines Global Champions Tour – Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping will return to its legendary setting on the Champ-de-Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. For 3 days, the world’s best riders and horses will battle it out on the Parisian track, for a show as unique as it is majestic.

With its 10th edition in 2024, the Longines Global Champions Tour – Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is starting a new decade in the best possible way. After a forced relocation to the Plaine de Jeux de Bagatelle, the competition has returned to the heart of Paris, to the delight of riders and its founder, Virginie Coupérie-Eiffel. Supporting the 7th leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour circuit, this year’s Paris leg once again welcomes the world’s best, with 8 of the world’s top 20 riders, Olympic medallists and former winners of the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix de la ville de Paris. Among them, the current world No. 1, American Kent Farrigton, and his compatriots Mclain Ward (No. 5), Jessica Springsteen and Spencer Smith. Germany will be
fielding 2 of its tenors with Marcus Ehning and Christian Ahlmann, the only two-time winner of the LGCT – Grand Prix de la ville de Paris (2019 and 2020). Sweden’s Henrik von Eckermann (no. 3), who relinquished his world no. 1 armband a few weeks ago after 2 1/2 years at the top, will also be in the field, as will Austria’s Max Kühner (no. 14) and Brazil’s Marlon Modolo Zanotelli, winner of the premier event in 2022.
 
Belgium will be one of the most represented nations in the CSI5* with no fewer than 8 starters. Nicola and Olivier Philippaerts, Wilm Vermeir, Pieter Devos, Gilles Thomas, Jérôme Guéry, Abdel Saïd and Koen Vereecke will all be trying to make the Brabant resound in the French capital. Winner of the Madrid leg a few weeks ago, the now very regular Greek rider Ioli Mytilineou will also be defending her colors in Paris, as will Luxembourg’s Victor Bettendorf.With its 10th edition in 2024, the Longines Global Champions Tour – Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is starting a new decade in the best possible way.
