It’s the 10 YEAR anniversary of the world’s premier CSI5* show jumping championship, and it was Gregory Whathelet riding a Kannan son to victory at the Longines Global Champions Tour in Shanghi today who did a warp speed final round and virtually left his competitors standing.
Top international Grand Prix power jumper and French Super League teams player in his time. Kannan now produces huge numbers of international level jumpers, and to prove a point Kannan’s son D’Eole has speeded away with the top place at warp speed ahead Wathelet’s big win is the news on the Longines website tonight.
Just when you thought the world’s top riders could not go any faster, the final big 5* class today produced an exhilarating jump off rounding off a high calibre event in Shanghai.
In front of packed grandstands, Belgium’s Gregory Wathelet pulled off a breathtaking time of 42.51 on Oh d’Eole, the black mare who won the same competition last year with Kevin Staut.
The first round saw faults spread evenly across the course, although the treble combination caused a few upsets including a fall for Qatar’s Faleh Suweed Al Ajami and the grey gelding Come Soon who both left the arena unscathed.
Eleven riders went through to the jump off and they hit the accelerator in dramatic fashion for the 1.50/1.55m finale of the Chinese leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour.
It was a thrilling climax to the event delivering great sporting drama for the thousands of spectators and VIPs who made it a full house.
