Íñigo López de la Osa Franco Becomes First Monegasque Rider at World Championship
At 22, Íñigo López de la Osa Franco has secured his place in history as the first equestrian from Monaco to qualify for the FEI Jumping World Championship. Following two years of intensive development on the Longines Global Champions Tour, he heads to Aachen this August to compete on his horse, Nacco.
His recent performance record underscores this upward trajectory. Highlights include an eighth-place finish at the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Mexico City and a matching result at the CSI5 Eiffel Challenge in Paris. Beyond individual success, his contributions to the Monaco Aces helped the team clinch sixth place in the overall Longines Global Champions League standings. As he prepares for the arena in Aachen, the focus remains on maintaining the steady consistency that defined his rise through the elite circuit.
