A PLATEAU THAT MATCHES THIS ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

2024 is an exceptional year for the Longines Global Champions Tour – Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, the field of riders is just as exceptional and promises 3 days of great sport. The British Ben Maher (n°2) or the Belgians Niels Bruynseels, Grégory Whatelet and Jérôme Guery.

Favorite of the Parisian public, the French multi-medalist Roger-Yves Bost will also be there and will try to do even better than in 2023 when, with his impressive gray Classius Clay VDV Z, he finished 2nd in the Longines Global Champions Tour – Grand Prix of the city of Paris. At his side, Grégory Cottard, in the running for an Olympic selection but also Olivier Robert, Julien Anquetin, Philippe Rozier and Aurelien Leroy who are particularly in form at the moment, will also defend the tricolor colors. Paris is his garden and he intends to demonstrate it again.

The German Christian Ahlmann, double winner of the premier event (2019 and 2022) will be present and intends to further add his name to the legend of the Parisian competition. Maestro of equestrian and author of anthology jump-offs, his compatriot Marcus Ehning will however be a strong competitor. Olympic team vice-champion in Tokyo, the American Kent Farrington (world no. 6) will undoubtedly be one of the most feared riders of the weekend.

The French succession will also be one to watch closely. Jeanne Sadran who is currently having her best sporting season, Antoine Ermann and Nina Mallevvaey will continue their rise to the high level.

GCL

On the GCL side, the battle will be just as impressive. At the top of the provisional ranking, the Cannes Stars powered by Iron Dames will try to widen the gap further in the points race. There is no doubt that in Paris, where founder and President Virginie Coupérie-Eiffel has always made a point of highlighting women in sport, the first 100% female team on the circuit will be keen to shine. However, they will have to face stiff competition since they are closely followed by the formidable Stockholm Hearts and Madrid in Motion.
