The World Eventing and Driving Championships take place on 15 to 18 September in Pratoni, Italy. While our Antar\u00e8s rider<\/a>, Robin Godel, won an individual gold medal riding Grandeur de Lully, and finished well in the team event this July at the Eventing Nations Cup in Avenches, both horse and rider will be competing again at the world championships. Now aged 23, Robin<\/a> is one of the best riders of his generation. Both hard-working and willing, Robin has clear ambitions but with just a few days to go before the world championships, he took time out to answer our questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How are you preparing for the world championships?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “My team and I are confident. We’ve performed well all year, in both individual and team events. This consistency should pay off, so I’m aiming to finish in the top 8 in the individual competition! For the team event, I hope we’ll be in the top 6, or even higher, and qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris!”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What was Grandeur de Lully’s schedule to prepare for the championships?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Grandeur’s programme was the same as usual for this level of competition, although we did focus more on galloping uphill as this is one of the features of the venue at Pratoni. The last event Grandeur took part in was the Haras du Pin eventing championships and it was great preparation for Pratoni.<\/em><\/p> Also, the entire Swiss team has worked extensively on the flat at various training camps, to have the best possible level for the dressage event.<\/em><\/p> What’s more, we also rode a series of circuits on grass to practice in the same conditions as we’ll find at the world championships”.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
