24 August 2022 at 13:48 Norway’s showjumping team enters into historic agreement The showjumping teams in Norway and the USA will cooperate closely in the coming years on training, research and sponsorship work. The agreement has a duration of four years. The historic collaboration was announced in connection with a press meeting with the show jumping team in Holmenkollen on Wednesday. The race director for jumping in the International Ski Federation, Sandro Pertile, also took part there. The parties are referring to the partnership that is now being entered into as “an agreement without parallel”. The idea is reportedly that resources on the coach and athlete side as well as research and development are to be linked together. The Norwegian Tore Sneli becomes American national team manager. His new students will mainly be based in Norway throughout the winter. The sponsorship work will also be worked on jointly from the Norwegian and American sides. The plan is “to establish and secure global sponsors who can support both teams”, says a joint statement. National team manager Clas Brede BrĂ¥then will act as the leader of the joint training group. – When it comes to the top sports part of our investment, our goal is to consolidate our position as the world’s most important show jumping nation. By uniting the good forces of the showjumping communities in the USA and Norway, we sincerely want to raise the sport of showjumping internationally to the highest possible level, he says.
