New Olympic hub for equestrian sports

The FEI has launched a new online hub dedicated to all things Olympic and Paralympic during the run up to the Games this summer.

The new website comes as equestrian sport celebrates the anniversary of its Olympic movement and all the equine and human athletes that have made Olympic equestrian history since 1912.

The Olympic hub explores each edition of the games, with summaries on the sport, complete results, statistics and iconic photos of Olympic venues and the equestrian world’s most celebrated riders and horses. The hub will soon be expanded to include biographies for athletes and officials at the London 2012 Olympic Games, as well as the history of equestrian events at the Paralympic Games since equestrian joined the list of Paralympic sports in 1996.

FEI President, HRH Princess Hava said: “Each Olympics and Paralympics bring new achievements and the ever changing horizon of sporting enterprise, and we greet each new experience with anticipation and expectation. But the Games are not only about the here and now and what is to come.”
