La renombrada Barrière Deauville Polo Cup y su legendaria Copa de Oro, una parada obligatoria en el circuito internacional, culminaron el domingo 29 de agosto en el Deauville International Polo Club, en el corazón del hipódromo Deauville-La Touques.
De la Copa de Oro participaron 6 equipos con grandes jugadores, tanto locales como internacional y varios polistas del Abierto Argentino. También estuvo en juego la Copa de Bronce, con 8 equipos de hasta 8 goles, que se adjudicó Tédéleou (Isabelle Larenaude, Simon Zavaleta, Bauti Beguerie y Jean-Edouard Mazery), y el certamen femenino, que tuvo como equipo campeón a Bar du Solel (Daphné Eisencheter, Noémie Eisencheteter, Caroline Anier y Fatima Bolzano).
En cuanto al torneo más importante, la Copa de Oro, quedó en manos de Los Dragones (Jota Chavanne, MartÃn JoaquÃn, Nicolás Maderna y Sam Sztarkman) luego de una gran final ante Mungo, que lograron revertir tras irse abajo al half (5-6) y terminaron ganando por 9-6. Para Jota Chavanne fue una gran alegrÃa conseguir este tÃtulo que se le venÃa negando tras cinco finales fallidas.
Para el triunfo, que se terminó de gestar desde el penúltimo periodo, fue clave MartÃn JoaquÃn (MVP de la final) y Nicolás Maderna (máximo goleador con 4 goles): "Salimos a la cancha más concentrados que nunca, con mucho empuje y eso nos favoreció". Sam Sztarkman, el mejor jugador amateur de esta final, derramó lágrimas de alegrÃa cuando sonó la campana del final del partido y demostró que sin duda es una de las grandes esperanzas del polo francés.

Por primera vez tuvimos cobertura in situ en lo que fue una gran semana de trabajo, gracias al apoyo de Mungo, Tédélou, Diego Braun y el Deauville Polo Club, entre otros.
Los eventos paralelos también forman parte del programa, como los tradicionales desfiles en la ciudad en la vÃspera de las finales, las bech polo seasons o los partidos de exhibición de polo infantil en la apertura de las finales. No hay un lugar más festivo y simple para vivir el polo que Deauville en agosto!
English version: Barrière Deauville Polo Cup: Golden Dragones
Once again, this Coupe d’Or Marta and Lucien Barrière at the Deauville International Polo Club has lived up to its promise with six fine teams who have fought some great battles over the last three weeks. Six teams that will meet four new ones in Chantilly with a possible double for Los Dragones. It is in France that the international season of European high goal polo will be coming to an end. Deauville was the penultimate act of this apotheosis and a great joy for the fans of this sport. A beautiful polo battle from which Los Dragones emerged victorious against Mungo at the end of a game that was settled in the final period.
The first four periods were particularly tense, punctuated by faults and falls, and none of the two finalists ever had a clear lead, one goal always followed by another: "This is often the case in finals. A final is a war, especially as we were up against a very good team, Mungo, who hadn’t lost a single one of their qualifying games except one", recalls the young captain of Los Dragones, 19-year-old Frenchman Sam Sztarkman, who proved to be a particularly brilliant attack player throughout this Coupe d’Or Marta and Lucien Barrière. The result was decided in the fifth period with, at last, some great field goals, including two spectacular backs from Martin Joaquin (MVP of the final) and Nicolas Maderna (top scorer of the final with 4 goals): "We went out on the field more focused than ever, with a lot of drive and that worked in our favor." Sam Sztarkman, the best amateur player of this final, shed tears of joy as the bell rang the end of the game and proved that he certainly is one of the great hopes of French polo.
Also the Bronze Cup, with 8 teams up to 8 goals, was won by Tédéleou (Isabelle Larenaude, Simon Zavaleta, Bauti Beguerie and Jean-Edouard Mazery), and the women's competition was won by Bar du Solel (Daphné Eisencheter, Noémie Eisencheteter, Caroline Anier and Fatima Bolzano).
For the first time we had on-site coverage in what was a great week of work, thanks to the support of Mungo, Tédélou, Diego Braun and the Deauville Polo Club, among others.
Side events are also part of the program, such as the traditional parades in town on the eve of the finals, beach-polo sessions at low tide or kids-polo exhibition games at the opening of the finals.
There is not a more festive and more "simple" place to discover and tame the oldest team sport than in Deauville in August.
