A technical moment, but also one of great suspense for the athletes: the draw to determine the order of entry for the Nations Cup – the highlight of the CSIO3* Longines EEF Series (LES) – with a prize fund of €65,000 – which will take place tomorrow, Friday, scheduled to start at 12.30 pm.
Croatia will kick off the ‘premiere’ Longines LES at Scuderia la Caccia, and Team Italy will close the series of 13 competing teams.
This is the starting order:
- Croatia
- Romania
- Sweden
- France
- Turkey
- Ireland
- Brazil
- Switzerland
- Portugal
- Bulgaria
- Japan
- Ukraine
- Italy
The team draw took place in front of all the chefs d’équipe of the represented nations, in the presence of Simone Perillo – Vice President of the European Equestrian Federation and Camille Bréjon – EEF Sport Events Liaison Manager (both in the picture). Also in attendance were Patrizia Adobati Ferrari, President of the CSIO Jury; Francis Normandin, Foreign Judge; and Beatrice Guidi, Show Director of Scuderia La Caccia.
“Your presence is an honour for us” said Vice President Perillo speaking at the team draw. “To have so many teams competing is a source of pride for the European Equestrian Federation and demonstrates how important this series has become internationally. I would like to thank the Scuderia La Caccia Organising Committee, also as FISE General Secretary, for their incredible efforts in ensuring the successful organisation of this event, which is being hosted at this splendid venue for the first time. I hope the weather improves, but I have no doubt about the quality of the organisation and sporting show.”
