          PARIS, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Versailles was on Friday confirmed as the venue for Equestrian events (Jumping, Dressage and Eventing) at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

          The confirmation followed a three-way meeting involving Ingmar De Vos, President of the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), Serge Lecomte, President of the French Equestrian Federation (FFE) and Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024. The session was held as part of a project review being undertaken by Paris 2024 together with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Federations.

          "The confirmation of Versailles is the promise of a unique celebration – one that will see Paris 2024 light up the history of the Games. It's a venue choice that symbolizes everything we want these Games to offer: incredible events, where sport takes place at the heart of iconic cultural locations, to help share the passion and values of sport and Olympism like never before," said Estanguet.

          "The Chateau de Versailles venue is a jewel of the Paris 2024 concept, which offers an exceptional opportunity to showcase the best of Equestrian sport in a globally iconic setting, while also guaranteeing a unique experience for our athletes and spectators.

          "We are delighted to be working hand-in-hand with Paris 2024 and the French Equestrian Federation towards the successful delivery of these Games, in line with the Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations as well as the recent New Norm reforms, which aim to reduce costs and complexity through closer partnership," De Vos said.
