The international CSIO5* combinations are set to make this week one with high level sport in Knokke, Belgium. The first competition day concluded with a 1.50m international class. In the end the stage coloured international with Sweden's Henrik von Eckermann on top. Von Eckermann won the class with his 9-year-old Iliana (Cardento).
Von Eckermann was the only to cross the finish in less than 68 seconds. With less than a second difference it was Dutch showjumping rider, Willem Greve who continued his form, guiding Team Nijhofs Highway M TN (Eldorado vd Zeshoek) to the runner-up position.
Last weekend's Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix winner, Max Kühner completed the stage. Kühner and the 11-year-old Elektric Blue P (Eldorado vd Zeshoek) were followed by Germany's Christian Ahlmann aboard the 10-year-old son of Castelan II, Calvino 16. The top five was completed by Ireland's Denis Lynch and Rubens LS LA Silla (Hh Rebozo)
