With the gold in Milan, European champion Steve Guerdat also made the big leap to the podium in the world ranking of show jumpers. He climbed from 12th to 3rd place. The Jurassic thus replaced Martin Fuchs, now in 5th place, as the best Swiss. The Swede Henrik von Eckermann, Janika Sprunger’s husband, is still in the lead.
Swiss team misses Olympic ticket
Meanwhile, bad news for the Swiss dressage team: the quartet of team manager Ruth Haas will not compete in the Olympic Games in Paris. At the European Championships in Riesenbeck, it clearly missed the very high target with 13th place and 207.159 percentage points.
Three tickets for nine countries were still available. These went to Austria (216,119), Belgium (214,582) and Spain (213,727). The other contenders Portugal (210,249), Luxembourg (208,400) and Norway (207,454) were also ahead of Switzerland. Only Finland (206,241) and Ireland (195,435) positioned themselves behind Switzerland.
The Swiss colors were represented by Charlotta Rogerson on Famora (68,898), Estelle Wettstein on Quaterboy (68,059), Charlotte Lenherr in the saddle of Sir Stanley (70,202) and Delia Eggenberger on Fairtrade (62,888). Charlotte Lenherr was 40th in the individual classification as the best Swiss rider.
The team event, which was decided in the Grand Prix, was won by the favored British (242.220), ahead of Germany and Denmark. (SDA/Mom)
