The opening qualification round of the FEI Jumping Nations Cup Youth Final (Children, 1m25) immediately produced an exciting battle. Eleven countries competed with their youth teams for the best starting position, and in the end it was Denmark that managed to remain faultless and fastest.
The Danish team proved to be particularly efficient. With a clear final total and a combined time of 223.10 seconds, they convincingly took the lead in this first qualifying round.
The Netherlands also remained faultless and finished just a few seconds later in 227.41 seconds, securing a solid second place. The Czech Republic followed in third place, also faultless, and with 230.40 seconds continued to increase the pressure on the leaders.
The German team recorded an identical clear round, but with 230.60 seconds, they were only tenths of a second short. Italy completed the top five, also without any jumping faults, but with a slightly slower total time of 232.47 seconds.
The battle for the final places therefore remains completely open. Denmark has taken the initiative, but with the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Germany close behind, the next round promises to be at least as exciting.
