Only one rail touched the ground yesterday for Olivier Bost’s Junior Team, with Capucine Prudhomme, Jack Conlon Gateau, Ewen China, Nohlan Vallat, and Toscane Carloni Richard keeping the lead of the Stal Hendrix Junior Competition until the very end.
Great Britain, Spain and Ireland delivered clear round after clear round, closing the gap with France. A British takeover seemed possible, until a clear from Ewen China locked in the gold for France.
Fighting for second place were Great Britain and Spain, in a jump off that saw the Spanish team put on quite the show for their supporters, granting them the silver medal, and Great Britain the bronze.
Impeccable the performance of the German team today, who’s fault sheet was left untouched, ending with five clear rounds that secured them a fifth place.
“We put the work in, we prepared, we went to training sessions, and we were ready.” Says Jack Conlon Gateau, glancing over at Chef D’Equipe Olivier Bost, who continued: “We have a good federation, good trainers, good riders, a good President, good horses, and good owners. So one thing left to say is thank you for putting up a big, good show, I think the best show we have been to in a long time.”
Congratulations to all the medalists, the next appointment for the junior will be the Individual Final on Saturday at 15.00. Tune in on ClipMyHorseTV to follow the event live.
