Due to the successful premiere with four stars the Longines CSI St. Moritz is already in the top class of the five star tournaments one year later. As in 2015 there are additional classes on a two star level. New in the program is a tour for amateur riders.
the complete Olympic team with Romain Duguet, Martin Fuchs, Steve Guerdat, Janika Sprunger and reserve rider Paul Estermann are coming to the Engadin. Further Swiss participants are amongst others Pius Schwizer, who is in St. Moritz for the first time, as well as Jane Richard Philips and Niklaus Rutschi, who finished 2nd in the Longines Grand Prix St. Moritz in 2015.
From countries, that were not qualified for the Olympic Games, good riders have signed in. Such as Bertram Allen (world no. 13) and Denis Lynch (world no. 21), the best Irishmen. The three Italians with the best rankings: Emanuele Gaudiano (world no. 23) and individual rider in Rio, Piergiorgio Bucci (world no. 32) and Lorenzo De Luca (world no. 35) are in the delegation of our south neighbour country.
