Four clear rounds for Germany: show jumpers shine in A Coruña!
An exciting day for the German show jumping team, which is today on the second day of competition FEI Jumping European Championship 2025 in A Coruña, Spain showed exciting performances. While the competition attacks in the front row, the Germans stand out with four clear rounds. The atmosphere in the arena was electric and spectators witnessed top-class show jumping.
Particularly noteworthy are Marcus Ehning and Sophie Hinners, who both delivered a flawless round. Ehning placed 19th with his horse Coolio, while Hinners placed 21st with Iron Dames My Prins. Christian Kukuk and Richard Vogel also showed clear rounds with Just Be Gentle and United Touch S and came in 6th and 1st place in the individual rankings. The latter is now leading the individual rankings and has not lost sight of his hope of a medal.
Team Germany in second place
In the team rankings, Germany remains in the race, but has a small cushion over the leading Brits and Belgians. After the first day of competition, the Germans were able to achieve very good results, and the team's performance was positively analyzed by national coach Otto Becker. “We are already in high gear and the team has mastered the preparation very well,” said Becker today. An Alexander Coyle from Ireland had to say goodbye to the competition after his mare Legacy withdrew.
But not everything went smoothly: Hans-Dieter Dreher experienced a drop with Elysium and ended up in 51st place. His score of 9.89 narrowly excluded him from the individual rankings, which was painful for him. However, the first two qualifications have shown that the Germans are ready to give it their all.
