Thomas, a first-time visitor to Shanghai, was genuinely taken aback by the city and the impressive new venue. “It’s not a long time that China has been a host country, but it is growing really fast,” he said. “The stadium is amazing; I think it’s one of the best in the world. All the riders that came from Europe or America say it’s just something they’ve never seen before.”

The warmth of the audience also left a lasting impression. Even during runs that were not so good, the audience cheered for the riders. When Chinese riders took to the arena, the volume went up a few more notches. Four Chinese riders, including Olympic rider Zhang Xingjia, world championship rider Wang Yunjing, and Zheng Wenjie, competed. Twenty-four-year-old Pang Qinyu made his debut at the Shanghai event, placing 21st in the CSI5 international jumping competition in two phases on May 3. Pang, born in 2000 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, has achieved many successes in national equestrian competitions and aims to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics by 2028.

In May and June, Pang plans to participate in competitions in Madrid, Spain, and Cannes and Paris in France, aiming to earn points for the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games.
