Story Highlights
World
Championship Sports Network (WCSN), the premier destination for fans of Olympic
and lifestyle sports, announced an agreement with the International Equestrian
Federation (FEI) to provide exclusive live and on-demand coverage of the
Samsung Super League events and competitions from around the world.
Equestrian fans in the United States will be able to watch each show jumping
event from the five-month long season via WCSN’s expansive network, including
the newly launched equestrian channel at www.wcsn.com/equestrian, WCSN’s 24/7
television channel and its syndicated television series.
Now in its fifth season, the Samsung Super League with FEI is the leading team
jumping series worldwide with the eight best national teams competing in the
most prestigious jumping competitions. This year’s national teams are from
Belgium,
France,
Germany,
Great Britain,
Netherlands,
Switzerland,
Sweden and the
United States. Coming off a stellar
year as runners-up to
Germany
in 2006, and first-place winners in the 2005 series, Team
USA is poised
for another intense season fighting for top world honors in the popular
equestrian sport discipline. Fans can catch all the rail jumps, triple
combinations and double-clear performances throughout the season live and
on-demand as Olympic hopefuls train and prepare for next year’s Summer Games in
Beijing.
“WCSN is committed to giving our passionate fans the best equestrian
events from FEI that until now have been underserved by traditional media
outlets,” said WCSN CEO and Chairman Claude Ruibal. “As WCSN
continues to expand its equestrian channel among its sports offerings, the
Samsung Super League with FEI is an important series that we know diehard show
jumping enthusiasts will eagerly follow throughout the season.”

team jumping competition will receive such remarkable additional
coverage,” FEI Secretary General Michael Stone commented. “The
