French Armenian jockey Sevan Malakian is interested in representing Armenia at the 2024 summer Olympics.

On December 7, Malakian, the young son of the great director Henri Verneuil ("Mayrig"), won the Jockey Club International Show Jumping in Geneva, an event that welcomes every year the best riders in the world.

In particular, the French rider won the Credit Suisse Jockey Club Award.
