Following the team’s Championship lead securing win, Katrin Eckermann smiled as she told GCTV: “We won the first stage in Doha and have been very unlucky since. It is just an amazing feeling to win here with all the supporters from the Iron Dames..."
"...and the wider team around us,and I am really enjoying it. In Doha we had different women in our team that won so it shows how strong we are. We are just women in the sport following our dreams and right now I don’t want to ever stop it. ”
Speaking to GCTV, Malin spoke of the importance of inspiring both the current and next generation of show jumping stars. She said, “To have four women out of six athletes on the podium, it just shows the girl power within the sport!”, “We love that” added fellow teammate, Jessica Springsteen.
A strategic move clearly paid dividends for current championship contenders, Madrid in Motion, with big changes seen between round one and two. Maikel van der Vleuten explained to GCTV, “We both changed horses between round one and two, so we had four horses today, they were all good today, they all performed very well and at the end of the day we can be very happy with second place. The winning team was very strong and it was a good competitive class for this stage of the championship.”
