The main class in Oslo, Norway was one each rider would love to add to their victory list. The results of this 5* class didn't only count for the Longines Ranking but also added to the score of the World Cup Ranking! Jack Whitaker was the one victorious of this big class.
Whitaker took home the head price with Scenletha (v. Hunter's Scendix). Former number one of the world Daniel Deusser was a few seconds short to take the win and ended second with Kiana van het Herdershof (v. Toulon). The bronze medal went home with Lily Atwood and Karibou Horta (v. Landor S).
Not only the top three had a close call in the ranking, further down the top five also had a hard battle for their placings. Only 30 hundredths kept world's number one Henrik von Eckermann from the stage after his round with Hollywood V (v. Mylord Carthago *HN). Patriot Jens Fredricson took the fifth place in the saddle of Markan Cosmopolit (v. Cohiba 1198).
