© LGCT

In Oliva, the day just concluded with a Longines Ranking class of the Gold Competition. In this finale of the Gold Tour, the course was set at a height of 1.45m, and a jump-off determined the eventual winner. Eleven combinations went clear in the initial round, leading to a jump-off with eleven competitors to decide the victor. In that jump-off, Super Grand Prix winner Victor Bettendorf claimed victory. He guided the 8-year-old Milky Way 111 (by de Flor 111 Z) to a faultless round, finishing in 38.57 seconds.

With this, he edged out Britain's Ellen Whitaker, who took second place. She relied on the KWPN mare Korlensky (by Cornet Obolensky) to jump a faultless round and finish in 39.36 seconds. The top three was completed by Nicolas Delmotte and Gein Lotta DK (by Cera d'Ick). The French pair left all the rails up and finished in 39.83 seconds.  

Laura Renwick just missed the podium, finishing in fourth place. She rode Enjoy Ck Z (by Echo van't Spieveld) to a clear round in 40.5 seconds. Alexa Ferrer and Casanova ZsZ (by Cesano 2) completed the top five with a faultless performance in 40.37 seconds.
