The third leg of the Longines League of Nations™, due to take place at St. Gallen this afternoon (31 May) has been cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. On Friday morning, the organizers of the Longines League of Nations in St Gallen already announced the cancellation of several classes due to heavy rain. The Nations Cup appeared to be safe but is now also cancelled. 

Following a prolonged period of heavy rain in Europe over the past few days, including on-site in St. Gallen, the decision was taken this morning, after discussions that involved the FEI, Ground Jury, Organising committee, Chefs d’equipe and athletes, to cancel the third qualifier..

Only one class would be run on Saturday and the Grand Prix is still on the program on Sunday. 

There will be no Longines League of Nations™ points and no final standing from the St Gallen leg. The league will continue with the next leg in Rotterdam on 21 June.
