News Flashs 3rd Day of Copa America
Third day in Buenos Aires for the first "FIHB Copa America Nuestros Caballos". Today to enter at la Rurale you had to queue for 35 min with thousands of people waiting outside, a huge amount of people around la "Pista Centrale" to support the Horse-Ball team under a great sunny day.
First match was Brazil - Catalunia. An easy play for Catalunia even if the defence made by Brazil was much better than previous day, the technical superiority of the Spanish team was undiscussed with a final score of 11-1 for Catalunia.
Second match has seen the "All Stars" against Argentinan. Today "All Stars" were weaker in defence and with an Argentinian team motivated and strongly decided to win in front of its public the blue team won with a large score of 11-4.
In the final classification after these three days of competition : 1st Argentina, 2nd All Stars, 3rd Catalunia, 4th Brazil.
Testimonial
When Horse-Ball for the first time was introduced to the Swedish audience at Stockholm International horse Show 2006 it was a roaring success. The TV commentators said that it was the most fantastic development that the equestrian sport has ever seen, much more exciting that they could ever anticipate. In the thorough public survey among our spectators, that is done every year, it was top ranked. A Champions League Final in Stockholm in the fantastic Globe Arena would be embraced with the greatest interest by media and spectators alike. Ulf Rosengren
