Major Events in 2017

As the fastest growing discipline at the FEI, there were many new opportunities for top class international Vaulting in 2017. The FEI Vaulting World Cup™ series and Final were among the highlights of the year, as were the FEI European Vaulting Championships in Ebreichsdorf (AUT) which were held alongside the FEI World Vaulting Championships for Juniors!

You will find a condensed summary below or you can read all about it here – with video highlights and more…

FEI VAULTING WORLD CUP™ FINAL 2017, DORTMUND (GER)

Following a World Cup season full of thrills and upsets, the Vaulting world descended on Dortmund and a new Vaulting superpower emerged as Italy toppled heavyweights Germany to head the medal table.

‘World Cup Queen’ Anna Cavallaro headed to her seventh consecutive FEI World Cup™ Vaulting Final and came out with her third title, this time with the incredibly consistent Monaco Franze 4, lunged by Nelson Alcides Vidoni. And the Italian theme continued when Silvia Stopazzini and Lorenzo Lupacchini wowed on the exceptional Rosenstolz 99, lunged by Laura Carnabuci, to become FEI World Cup™ Pas de Deux champions and show their intent for the season ahead.

There was still cause for German celebration as Jannis Drewell rectified the fall which had cost him first place the previous year to take his first FEI World Cup™ title. Drewell’s emotion was matched only by the home crowd’s ecstatic celebrations.
