Cartier wins the 22nd Polo World Cup on Snow in St. Moritz

Over 10,000 spectators brimmed over with enthusiasm for the two top class games.

The two teams Cartier und Bank Hofmann with their handicap 7 and 8-players were well-balanced and fought hardly. After Johnny Good’s (UK) two very fast goals right after his lightning start, no team could lead anymore with more than one goal difference. Only a 5th chukker, the overtime with the Sudden Death-rule, brought the decision, when, after some seconds, the Australian Jack Baillieu decided the game for Team Cartier.

So Team Cartier with its captain Adriano Agosti, with Jaime Huidobro from Chile, Baillieu from Downunder and Good from England is celebrating another victory in its own tournament, the Handicap 22-level World Cup on Snow, that also this year belongs to the World Polo Tour WPT.

In view of all days, Cartier secured its title mainly because of it being well balanced and the exception Johnny Good. He finally won the title as Most Valuable Player of the tournament and was appointed as Best Scorer.

Brioni saved itself the 3rd place. In a hard-fought game for the AMG-Cup and 3rd/4th place between the teams Brioni and Maybach, the top cracks from Argentina once again showed an outstanding performance in the art of Polo. On one side it was “Piki” Diaz Alberdi, and on the other side the number 3 in the world, Eduardo Novillo Astrada, who both shot two goals. Brioni finally was successful and won the small final with 4:2.
