MEET OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS

ANNIKA PHIL (SWE)

My name is Annika Pihl. I am a showjumping judge level 3 and I am from Sweden. I have been a international judge since 2004. I used to compete in showjumping myself and really love the sport.

Q1: Congratulations on your election as the new board member of the IJOC.Can you remind our members again your current profession and your FEI functions as official ?I work with horses and people every day. For the moment (since January 2023) I work as operations manager at a big riding club/school in Malmö. I have 25 employees and 50 horses at the riding club. I also work for the Swedish Equestrian Federation as a teacher for new showjumping judges in Sweden and also as a supervisor for annual refreshment courses for showjumping judges. I also work with the Swedish rules and regulations.

Q2: What are your personal goals to contribute to the IJOC in near future ?

I would like to contribute to the IJOC as much as I can. I would like to work with the webinars, education, rules and to make more officials interested to join our club.

Q3: The first board meeting of the IJOC is already conducted. What were your impressions?

A lot of experienced people, all willing to put a lot of effort for the club and for the members of IJOC. The meeting was very well organized.

Q4: You have attended the IJOC General Assembly in Rome and the accompanying Officials Forum and FEI Courses.What were your impressions ?

The meeting in Rome was well organized. I think it is always good to meet and talk with other officials. The programme was good. I think however, that it would benefit everybody to know the correct answers to the questions on the test (like on the on line test). For me, who has worked for several years as a teacher, it’s good for the students to know what they did right and what they did wrong even if they passed the test. The General Assembly was nice.

Q5: What do you think about the IJOC Webinars ?

I really love the webinars. I think it is a good source for knowledge. The webinars is really something good that the “covid-pandemic-time” brought to us. Very interesting and good. Easy for people to join and to listen. I am also a board member of a Swedish association, and we have also started with webinars. It is indeed a great success.

NON-RIGHTS HOLDERS’ GUIDELINES FOR POSTING VIDEOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA FROM FEI-NAMED EVENTS

The recent publication of the updated version of the Non-Rights holders’ Guidelines for Publishing on Social Media at FEI-Named Events has generated considerable conversation in the media, misinformation and questions from Stakeholders around what can and cannot be filmed and posted.

In order to provide more information around the Guidelines, and also their application, we have created some explanatory notes and a detailed FAQ which are both available alongside the Guidelines on a newly created page:

NRH Guidelines for Posting Videos from FEI-Named Events

We understand you have received a lot of queries as well from your members so we hope these explanatory notes and FAQS will settle many of those questions.

We would also like to highlight/remind National Federations they can post footage of their Athletes’ round(s) on the NF’s social media platforms up to the maximum duration of each of the rounds, as long as that footage is provided exclusively via FEI Socialie. And the same applies for Athletes on their Social Media Platrforms.

This is clearly explained in the updated Guidelines, but also in the FAQS, but please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any doubts or questions.

Registration Codes:

For athletes: “Athletes-Media”

For NF members: “NF-Media”

The rounds for the Longines League of Nations™ are available on the platform. The other FEI-Named Events are in the process of being implemented. In addition to the competition footage, additional content can be accessed through the FEI Socialie Platform which can be used for sharing on your social media platforms.

I found myself within a dedicated group of people who show that they have the will & ability to lead and to solve problems, working all together in a friendly atmosphere.

Q4:  You have attended the IJOC General Assembly in Rome and the accompanying Officials Forum and FEI Courses.What were your impressions ?

The successful organisation, the good keeping to the schedule’s time, the proximity of the social happening to the hotel
Things to solve: the “topic” of observers and how to marry it with the demands of FEI  re: the IPMCs

Q5:  What do you think about the IJOC Webinars ?

They are really good supplement to our knowledge and experience; in a way they are the sequel of our yearly meetings as they were before IPMCs.

Many thanks
