Who is part of Switzerland’s Elite-Squad?
The Swiss show jumping Elite-Squad („Schweizer Elite-Kader“) for 2016 has already been selected. The selection committee of the Swiss National Federation (SVPS) made their decision with a strong focus on the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (BRA) next year. Switzerland’s equestrian news platform Pferdewoche reported that Chef d’Equipe Andy Kistler will gather his new Elite-Squad members and his team in the next few days to make a plan for the upcoming Olympic season.
A total of 15 riders and one ‚Espoir‘ – a young rider who gets the chance to ride in the Elite-Squad for two years after outgrowing the youth classes – made it into the squad.
