The main class of the equestrian weekend in Oslo has been ridden. The bar was raised high in this Grand Prix and you might want to take that quite literally because the riders and their horses had to battle jumps of 1.60m high to stay clear. Turns out not to be an easy task with only 7 out of 42 combinations qualifying for the jump-off. At the end, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli had his head in the game and jumped to victory.
All riders fought hard for the title of this Grand Prix but eventually only one could be victorious. It was Zanotelli who rode the fastest jump-off on the back of VDL Edgar M (v. Arezzo VDL). Daniel Deusser's Kiana van het Herdershof (v. Toulon) didn't touch a pole but couldn't beat the time of the 13 yo gelding of Zanotelli. They were closely followed by fellow German Gerrit Nieberg who jumped to bronze with Blues d'Aveline CH (v. Baloussini).
Andreas Schou came in fourth with Independent (v. Diamant de Revel). For Maikel van der Vleuten a fifth place awaited for him and Dywis HH (v. Toulon). Manuel Fernandez Saro settled for six in the saddle of Acoufina PS (v. Action-Breaker) and stayed ahead of Gudrun Patteet. The Belgian rider was the only one who didn't manage to stay double clear and ended her jump-off with a seventh place for Sea Coast Guiness (v. Nabab de Reve).
