CEIO*** 2004: La
Baule, Newmarket and Gubbio
As Show Jumping has the CSIO so Endurance
now has the CEIO - the Official International Endurance Contest. This important
format for events, which in the world of Show Jumping is limited to the official
teams of the various national federations who compete in the famous Cup of the
Nations, is extended for Endurance to include individual competitors who are
given a final ranking. After the European, World and Olympic Championships,
this is the next most important event format, for which each country may
establish a single CSIO or CEIO which takes the name of the country concerned
(French, British, Italian CSIO or CEIO and so on) After the first CEIO event
in the history of Endurance, which took place at La Baule in 2003, this year
Endurance has for the first time a fixture list with a circuit of three Official
International Competitions. The first of these took place in La Baule on 8th
May 2004, the second in Newmarket (GB) on the 27th June and the final will be
held in Gubbio ( Italy ) on 18th September .
