Ring the alarm because Nina Mallevaey is on fire.
The French national champion and world no. 1 U25 rider has climbed 71 spots up the Longines World Rankings to number 28 since January. After her standout performance at the Brussels Stephex Masters this week, she’s guaranteed to jump into the world top 25 in September.
Because it was a week of firsts for the French rising star.
Not only did Mallevaey win both the week’s feature classes with the CSIO5* Nations Cup and the Rolex Grand Prix, her career first five-star titles—she didn’t drop a. single. rail. the entire week of five-star competition.
Of the six CSIO5* classes she jumped, she only finished outside the top ten in Thursday’s opening 1.40m speed class that she used as a schooling round on Dynastie de Beaufour. That same afternoon she finished ninth in the 1.50m Table A against the clock—with a causal clear on Destine To Be.
The rest of the weekend saw one success after another.
On Friday, Mallevaey produced one of only five double clears in the Henders & Hazel Nations Cup aboard Dynastie de Beaufour to help France to victory and finished 10th in the 1.50m Jump Off with Destine To Be. (They had a refusal at the double in the jump off.)
Saturday, the 25-year-old French rider piloted Destine To Be to a 3rd place finish in the 1.50m Table A with Jump Off.
And on Sunday, she clinched the biggest win of her career and first five-star GP title with the only sub 41 second time of the day in the Rolex Grand Prix. And she did it against some of the biggest names in the sport—Gregory Wathelet and Bond Jamesbond de Hay, Harry Charles and Sherlock, Gilles Thomas and Ermitage Kalone, and Steve Guerdat and Dynamix Belheme, among them.
“I feel amazing. I’m actually a bit emotional, I think. I am really proud of Dynastie, she deserves to win a five-star Grand Prix and I think it’s the perfect place to win it here,” said Mallevaey.
This week saw the young French rider’s first five-star Grand Prix and Nations Cup wins. No doubt they won’t be her last.
