Elasten

The past months offered various highlights – among others in Zurich, Berlin or China – and even more unforgettable moments of happiness.

It‘s a philosophy of life that has inspired me a lot. Asked in an interview with POLO+10 about his view of things in life, Sébastien Le Page, President of Polo Park Zurich, quotes from a book by Nietzsche: „Master, what shall I do to be happy? The master answers: just be happy!“ In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we unfortunately too often forget to recognize happiness in the moment and to consciously enjoy it. That‘s why I plan to do just that much more in the future!

The past few months have offered various moments of happiness for polo fans and players: Special highlights included the Elasten Ladies Cup at PoloPark Berlin and the 22nd Zurich International Ladies Cup, where the women once again put on spectacular competitions. Polo is also finally making a comeback in China after the enforced break – and if the plans of hotel CEO Sanjiv Ramdanee are anything to go by, guests on the dream island of Mauritius will be able to watch polo show matches in the future.

So let‘s all look forward to the coming season in 2022, which will unfortunately have a few planning uncertainties due to the pandemic, but will nevertheless hold various new moments of happiness in store for all of us.

Public polo tournament from July 16-18, 2021 in the PoloPark Berlin

26 strong women fight action-packed in six teams at the only German women’s polo tournament this season in the PoloPark Berlin

The sport of polo is the fastest and one of the oldest team sports in the world. Tournaments with mixed teams, i.e. with players, are common. But this tournament weekend is 100% female. Six teams with a total of 26 experienced and successful polo players compete against each other for the trophies of the ELASTEN® Ladies Cup 2021.

90 polo horses are at the start. Christopher Kirsch, himself one of the best German polo players, will be the only man on the field as referee.

The fast-paced games are played at the highest polo level and demand the highest concentration, endurance, skill and fighting spirit from the horses (the polo ponies) and players.

The grass pitch in the PoloPark is 50,000 square meters. This corresponds to about four soccer fields.

The games start at 12:00 p.m. every day. Visitors are very welcome and can look forward to a varied weekend program in addition to the exciting chukka.

Admission is free.

All games are commented on in an entertaining manner. At the “White Night” on Saturday evening, the visitors meet the players in a get-together with the finest DJ music.

The usual Corona hygiene rules apply on the premises.

 

 

Handicap

Every polo player has her personal handicap (HPC) according to her individual performance level. This starts in the minus range and can go up to +10. The sum of the four individual handicaps gives the overall handicap of a polo team. If teams with different handicaps compete against each other, the team with the lower handicap receives a goal lead.

The high handicaps of the players, who are nationally and internationally among the best polo riders, promise high-class and fast-paced competitions. The Argentine player Fatima Balzano plays with her handicap of 6 at the top of the international league.

Namesake and title sponsor

The namesake and title sponsor of the Ladies Polo Cup 2021 is ELASTEN®, the well-known drinking collagen for beautiful skin from the inside all over the body. The No. 1 from Germany is once again presenting itself at a polo tournament.
