After trouble in the morning, Werth radiates with gold around the neck

At the award ceremony of the home-em beamed Isabell Werth again, the annoying of the morning was almost forgotten. Of course I'm looking forward to now, said the most successful rider in the world about the Gold Hattrick on Wednesday with the German Dressage Team. Nearly four hours earlier, the 52-year-old had still out. So I'm, once it has to get out, then it's good too, said the record rider from Rheinberg Fröhlich grinning her wuit.

At the third gold after the EM victories in Gothenburg and Rotterdam, the German quartet had experienced an unexpected shake. The host team in Hagen at Osnabrück had meanwhile even behind and benefited from the competition at the renewed success in the end. With a total of 238.944 percentage points, the victory from Great Britain (232,345) and Denmark (231,165) finally decreased significantly. The renewed success was the 25th German team gold at European Championships.

That's ridiculous

The fact that it was scarce than expected for a while was also the result of Werth's ride: 79.860 percent. She was then angry out of the square and had scolded. That's ridiculous, she moved in the saddle of Weihegold: I'm already in Stock! Later, the mood of the Dressage Queen was much better.

The horse has never gone out of 80 percent with such a test, I do not understand it, complained to the rider. 77 percent with a judge, I say that clearly, that's not comprehensible - point!

With the rode myself I was very, very satisfied, not with the rating. I do not think she's overestorated, she said sarcastic. You hope that it is enough for the crew. We are at the moment third place, said Werth immediately after her ride - and could not know that the Brit Carl Hester later rode so weakly that he delivered the string resilience.

Criticism of French judge

Equipe boss Klaus Roeser called already naughty the evaluation of a French judge. Diplomatic expressed the national trainer. I see it differently, Monica said theodorescu. The result she found not right. I had already thought that it's over 80 percent. The annoyance of the rider could understand them, they took Werth in protection. That's in the emotion, if you come from the exam, normal, said the trainer of the national team.

The annoyance was no later than the ride of Jessica by Bredow-Warmnl. The 35-year-old rider from Tuntenhausen made with the ride in the saddle of Dalera for the decision. The double Olympic champion rode shiny, got outstanding 84.099 percent and said, That's Mega, I'm Totally Happy.

The most successful German sportswoman in Tokyo shone again in Hagen. After Werth's result, she thought: Hopefully we can do that. After her own ride, the 35-year-old was relieved, also because her horse is again in shape. On Thursday, her further gold waves in singles.

On the previous day, the host quartet after the Ritten of Helen Langehanenberg (Billerbeck) with Annabelle and Dorothee Schneider (Framersheim) with Faustus had only ranked two. Schneider had to ride Faustus because her top horse is struck. The failure of showtime hurts, said Werth.
