Germany takes team gold at the European Championships for Children

The German, French and Spanish teams started the second round of the team final in Children’s category on a score of zero, while the Italian team was sitting fourth on a score of four followed by Sweden, Ireland, Finland and the Netherlands on a score of eight and Belgium and Poland on a score of nine. In a competition presented by Freejump, the Children jumped a 1.30m course set by Santiago Varela.

Only the German team – consisting of Lennard Tillmann and Oreal des Etains Z (Orlando x Corrado I), Antonia Häsler and Dynamite N (Nintender x Eklat), Ava Ferch on Quintessa Lox (Quinton x Casir Ask), Tony Stormanns and Dia Nova (Diamant de Revel x Cardento 933) as well as Vieca Sofie Bade and Chades Of Grey (Contendro I x Colbert GTI) – kept their score of zero in the final round. Clears from Tillmann, Ferch and Stormanns in the final round secured the Germans the team gold.

After the second round of the final, Italy and France were tied on four penalties, and their medals were decided by a jump-off. In the end the Italians – with a team consisting of Giovanni Vincoli on Qitana VDV (Quasimodo Z x Julio V), Lavinia Lo Bosco on Ocean (Presley Boy x Quatoubet), Anna Ruggeri on Dakotah 2 (Diarado x Laurin), Enrico Santoni on Katrin (Kannan x Numero Uno) and Daphne Giunti on Touche d’Arrogance) – were quickest, taking home team silver, while France – with a team consisting of Romane Blanc on Zig Zag Z (Zandor Z x Carthago), Melina Bouillot on Canabis d’Albain (Baloubet du Rouet x Kannan), Timothee Goffinet on Volubie du Givre (Winningmood x Damiro B), Lucas Delachaussee on Atcha des Coteaux (Controe x Bonhomme II) and Louise Anquetin on Uccello de Hus (Quidam x Contender) – took team bronze.

“I am very happy,” German Chef d’Equipe Eberhard Seemann said after the victory. "Even though leading up to this event, my Children won a Nations Cup in Hagen, I was a little bit nervous coming here. We had a great team here, with an amazing team spirit. I believe that these championships are essential for Children; after this, they will move on to the Junior division and it is important to have this experience to develop step by step. Personally, I love the classes for Children in general, and especially these Championships, because this way we can really bring the future talents forward. To me, these are one of the most important events there is!”
