Current international shows

[SJFAN]

The next Nations Cup Promotional League event is in Poland this afternoon. Due to start at 2pm (BST) it seems that it will be video streamed via a link on the show website: http://www.csio.sopot.pl/eng/ GB fields a team of our most talented YRs.
The Global Champions Tour is now in Cannes. As usual video coverage is available at http://www.globalchampionstour.com/ GB riders: Ben Maher, Nick Skelton, Tina Fletcher and Guy Williams. Strong winds yesterday were occasionally blowing down parts of jumps, and the video stream was interrupted many times. Hopefully it will be better this evening and tomorrow.
Several of GB's leading riders are in Holland: John, Michael, Ellen & Robert Whitaker, Geoff Billington, Scott Brash and Robert Smith. http://www.outdoorgelderland.nl/en/

Good luck to the show at Cannes, our department is under a flood warning right now,
thunderstorms had to be seen to be believed yesterday, with another promised for later, and Sunday pm.
Thank you for the posting.There are a lot of Brits abroad right now!

 

[SJFAN]

Indeed there are - it'sd a little unfortunate for the British shows! There are also several including Mark Armstrong and James Fisher at Mantes La Jolie 3*: http://www.jump-results.com/OPEN/mantes10.htm

I've had to email Sopot to get the correct link as the one on the website was only giving the promo video! It is: http://pomorska.tv/live.php
I just heard the announcement that the revised starting time is 3pm and will begin with the individual riders who seek WEG qualification. Don't know how many of theose there are as the start list only gives the teams.

Just announced it has been postponed for a further 30 minutes. No explanation provided.

The weather was absolutely awful (heavy rain & high winds) in Sopot this afternoon leading to the postponement of the Natios Cup which is now due to start at 9.30am BST tomorrow.

Im surprised at some of the participants in the Cannes GCT - i always thought only the top 50 riders in the world or something were allowed to take part?

 

[SJFAN]

That is a myth that the organisers choose to perpetuate. Many riders much lower down the rankings take part, though the top 30 have the automatic right to do so.

Oh right cool.. you'd think they'd be a queue every leg then what with the prize money!
