Mother-Daughter Duo Shines at Paris Equestrian Event

French equestrian Isabelle Strom recently showcased her skills alongside her daughter Olympia at the prestigious Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping event, held at the Champ de Mars near the Eiffel Tower.

Strom, riding her horse Diamant de Demet, achieved a fifth-place finish in the 1.40-meter category during the opening day of the competition. The event is part of the international Longines Global Champions Tour, attracting top riders from around the world.

Her daughter, nine-year-old Olympia, also made a notable appearance, competing in the pony category. Riding Goliath de la Roche, Olympia delivered an impressive performance, securing an eighth-place finish. "We are very proud of both of them. Olympia took this challenge very seriously and trained hard with her pony the last few weeks. Her dedication paid off with a flawless round in a very competitive category," said a proud Strom.

The family was supported by Isabelle's husband, Argentine polo player Clemente “Corchito” Zavaleta, who watched proudly from the sidelines. The event, which draws elite equestrian athletes, provided a platform for both mother and daughter to demonstrate their dedication and skill in the sport.
