The audacity, elegance and excellence of equestrian sports will be the strong points of this event which is already sold out, explains Virginie Couperie-Eiffel, President of the Paris Eiffel Jumping. Highlighting the horse, this venue will be observed closely by all the official specialists from the grandstands, two months away from the decision by the CIO for the attribution of the Summer 2024 Olympic Games.
