30 Nov 2024Swedish rider Henrik von Eckermann will go to Casas Novas with the intention of maintaining the number 1 position in the FEI ranking
Next Friday, December 6th, a new edition of the CSI A Coruña will begin at the Casas Novas Equestrian Centre (Arteixo). A competition in which fans of this sport will be able to enjoy the performance of the best riders on the international scene.
Among the wide range of athletes who will jump onto the indoor track of the Galician venue, one stands out in a special way. This is the case of the Swede Henrik von Eckermann, leader of the ranking for more than two years and current champion of the World Cup in show jumping. His presence is always synonymous with spectacle, ensuring a high level for lovers of this discipline.
The Nordic rider is not the only one who will attract the attention of the attendees next weekend, and the list of participants in Casas Novas has an enviable level. Among the names we find in it, Max Kühner stands out, an Austrian rider with a long career who has competed in the Olympic Games 7 times and currently occupies the seventh position in the ranking. Along with him, another name, Simon Delestre, number 12 in the ranking. The French rider already knows what it is like to win in Casas Novas after his triumph in the 2021 Longines Grand Prix, a feat that he will try to repeat in this edition.
In the five-star category tests we will also be able to enjoy a regular at the CSI Casas Novas and one of the most charismatic riders on the scene, Maikel van der Vleuten, as well as the highest-ranked Spaniard in FEI, Eduardo Álvarez Aznar, and riders such as Jeanne Sadran or the young Jennifer Hochstaedter, whom we were able to see jumping with great skill in Casas Novas this past summer.
Attendees will be able to enjoy an exciting sporting event, where riders from the international equestrian scene will offer a top-level show. In addition, the competition can be followed live in full on the website www.csicasasnovas.com.
