Deauville, France – June 22, 2025 – The €60,300 Prix Sotheby’s International Realty Grand Prix – Normandy Region CSIO 3* kept all its promises on Sunday afternoon at the Pôle international du Cheval Longines de Deauville, at the conclusion of a high-level weekend. At the end of a suspenseful jump-off, it was Olivier Robert (FRA) who won with Iglesias D.V., signing the fastest double clear round of the event. Aquitain was the only Frenchman to qualify for the final on the clock.
Faced with fifty-nine starters, he was able to find the right balance between speed and precision on a technical course designed by Cédric Longis (FRA), where there were many mistakes, notably at the entrance to triple number 4 and on vertical 7. In a jump-off of nine, Olivier Robert (FRA) was the only one to clear all the obstacles without incident in 41”57, narrowly ahead of the young Belgian Roy van Beek (BEL), author of a superb double clear round on Cavoiro-H, already remarkable Friday during the Nations Cup.
The Swede Nicole Holmén (SWE) completed the podium with Oh Sissi in 42”35.
“I am very happy to have won this great event today with Iglesias, who was very determined and performed well.
“I am very happy to have won this great event today with Iglesias, who was very determined and did good things,” said Olivier Robert after his victory.
“With Edouard Coupérie, we thought it would be wise to take an active break here in Deauville, between La Baule and Aachen. This victory reassures us and motivates us before the big German meeting.”
The American Cathleen Driscoll (USA) suffered a fall at the start of the jump-off with Idalgo, who immediately got up. Quickly taken care of by the medical teams present on site, she was transported to Caen University Hospital.
