Longines Global Champions Tour brings Olympic-level equestrian show jumping to Miami Beach

The best in show of nags is at Longines Global Champions … and by nag we mean horses, not your mother-in-law.

The tour takes place across 15 countries, with a premier stop in Miami. Showing us the proper way to horse around is our local stallion, Alex Miranda.

Jump, jump, horse around.

Guest 1: “It’s horses and fun in the sun.”

On the Longines Global Champions Tour.

Jan Tops: “We have 16 events, unique locations, the best riders in the world competing.”

Returning to the United States for its eighth year.

Melanie Gleeson: “We have come all the way from Australia, with our rider, Chloe!”

Alex Miranda (to Chloe): “So, how are you feeling?”

Chloe: “Amazing.”

Considered the F1 of show jumping, it brings Olympic-level equestrian sport right to Miami Beach.

Jan Tops: “There are the core fans, they know exactly the technical part, but also for people who come here for the first time. It’s always spectacular to see horses jump in elegance.”

Georgina Bloomberg is competing.

Georgina Bloomberg: “Our team, the New York Empire, is here. It’s only our second event of the season, but we’ve got a great group.

Alex Miranda: “Is Dad coming to watch, by any chance?”

Georgina Bloomberg: “He’s not; he’s been before to watch. I’m just coming back from having my second son, so I’m not really doing anything too exciting.”

So is Natalie Dean.

Natalie Dean: “Our team is the Iron Dames. We won the first event in Doha, so we’re really looking forward to this week and trying to keep that leap.”

Riders compete to gain points in the overall Championship season battle.

Guest 1: “Not only is the diversity international, but the people that you meet, everyone is so in tune with just getting to know one another.”

Melanie Gleeson: “We love Miami; it’s the trip of a lifetime.”

Alex Miranda: “Is it better than Melbourne or…?”

Melanie Gleeson: “Aaah, like who?!”

So, come for a real wild ride.

Alex Miranda: “We have a pink Lambo. Hey, that ain’t bad. The Iron Dames own this one, an all-female endurance racing team, and I’ve got to say, if any car were a Deco Drive car, it would be this one.

It’s ffour days of sun, sea, and … VIP.

Alex Miranda: “You’ve got food – oh, cheese, I love cheese.

[Bartender puts three jumbo-sized bottles of Portofino Dry Gin together.]

Bartender: “So now it shows the entire block, actually.”

Alex Miranda: “And now it’s home decor.”

And the best view in the house for Olympic-level equestrian show jumping.

And one thing you will never do without here is the time. They’ve got it all over the place.

Buy your ticket, or watch for free along the shore.

Georgina Bloomberg: “It’s quite unique in that way, so we do hope to get people who don’t know much about it, be able to walk by and see the horses and hopefully get interested in our sport.”

Alex Miranda: “I’m sure you’re seeing them in their bathing suits, and you’re like, ‘Why am I here? No, I need to go jump in the water.’ No? Does that cross your mind every once in a while?”

Georgina Bloomberg: “It absolutely does, when we’re wearing our heavy jackets.”

Right by the W Hotel.

Alex Miranda (toasts with bartender in straw hat): “Life is good, right on the beach. Now let’s go horse around. We’re winners, baby.”

Tickets start at $350.

Todo lo que debes saber del Longines Global Champions Tour México 2024

Todo está listo para el Longines Global Champions Tour México y ya han llegado a nuestro país más de 150 jinetes y amazonas internacionales de 24 países, entre ellos tres de los mejores: Ben Maher, #2); Simon Delestre, #7 y Max Khunner, #8.

México es la tercera sede del circuito 2024 y la única etapa en Latinoamérica del tan esperado evento ecuestre, el cual se llevará a cabo del 11 al 14 de abril en Campo Marte.

La agenda deportiva está dividida en dos partes:

- Pruebas 5 estrellas : con una bolsa de premios de casi 1.000.000 euros. Representan la máxima complejidad, con lo cual participan los jinetes más experimentados.

- Pruebas 2 estrellas : con una bolsa de premios de más de 125.600 euros. Los recorridos son de menor altura y dificultad.

Este año dos mexicanos participan en el Longines Global Champions Tour México, Carlos Hank Guerreiro, quien forma parte del equipo México Amigos y Fernando Martínez Sommer con el equipo Prague Lions . Ambos participan en todo el circuito.

De igual manera, México quedará representado en el CSI5 por el jinete Nicolás Pizarro, quien actualmente ocupa el puesto 35 del ranking mundial. En el año 2012 participó en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres, consiguiendo con el equipo nacional mexicano un destacable noveno puesto.

Por primera vez dentro de Longines Global Champions Tour, presentado por GNP México Jumping, se realizará una fecha del circuito JumpMex, un circuito de 6 etapas de equipos en los mejores concursos de México. Se trata de una iniciativa que se creó para elevar el nivel deportivo de jóvenes y amateurs y así lleguen mejor preparados a las competencias internacionales.

Todos los asistentes podrán disfrutar actividades para toda la familia; stands con productos ecuestres, moda, artesanía, food trucks con excelente gastronomía y barra de bebidas de Stella Artois.

Maher, Delestre y Kühner, los jinetes a seguir en el Global Champions Tour México

México, 10 abr (EFE).- El británico Ben Maher, número dos del mundo, el francés Simon Delestre, séptimo, y el austríaco Max Kühner, octavo, serán los jinetes a seguir en el Longines Global Champions Tour México, que se disputará entre el jueves y el domingo en la Ciudad de México.

El máximo acontecimiento hípico en el mundo tendrá su séptima edición en la pista de Campo Marte, ubicado al poniente de la capital mexicana, única ciudad latinoamericana que contará con una fecha del circuito.

Ben Maher, medallista de oro en los Olímpicos de Londres 2012, en la competición por equipos, y en Tokio 2020, en individual, buscará en esta tercera fecha reponerse de la decimocuarta posición que ocupó en la segunda parada del Global Champions Tour realizada en Miami Beach, Florida, el pasado 6 de abril.

Simon Delestre, medallista de plata por equipos en el Campeonato Mundial 2014, es otro de los favoritos en el serial, viene de obtener un sexto lugar en Miami; y Max Kühner, quien se colgó el bronce por equipos en el Campeonato Europeo 2023, tiene la misión de repetir su buena labor en la etapa pasada en la que terminó en segundo lugar.

También destaca el camino ascendente del jinete español Eduardo Álvarez Aznar, 42 en la lista mundial, quien brilló en las dos primeras jornadas del Global Champions Tour.

En la fecha inaugural del 2 de marzo en Doha, Catar, Álvarez Aznar concluyó en la octava posición en la prueba estrella de salto de 1.60 metros, puesto que mejoró en Miami, donde terminó en el cuarto escalón.

Nicolás Pizarro, número 35 en la lista de la Federación Ecuestre Internacional, será el representante local en la categoría estelar CSI5.

El Global Champions Tour fue fundado en el 2006 por el reconocido jinete y medallista de oro olímpico neerlandés Johannes Augustinus Petrus, quien estará presente en la capital mexicana para seguir las incidencias de la tercera fecha de este 2024, a la cual se prevé asistan alrededor de 40.000 aficionados en sus cuatro días.

La bolsa de premios a repartir para este evento será de poco más de 1.5 millones de euros.

Tras su visita a México, la cuarta fecha del Global Champions Tour estará en Shangai, China, del 3 al 5 de mayo para luego viajar a Madrid del 17 al 19 de ese mismo mes en su quinta parada de las 16 programadas por distintas ciudades del mundo en este año.
