In the ninth stop of the Global Champions Tour, Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann rode to a fourth-place finish with her horse Messi. The 43-year-old show jumper from Pinneberg delivered a faultless performance in the jump-off at the Grand Prix of Stockholm, but was too slow to secure the win. The victory went to Belgian rider Olivier Philippaerts with Miro, who was almost two seconds faster than Meyer-Zimmermann.
The competition proved disappointing for Philipp Weishaupt from Riesenbeck, who finished in 31st place with 16 penalty points. Just ahead of him was Swedish world champion Henrik von Eckermann with King Edward, also receiving 16 penalty points. With six stages remaining in the series, Max Kuhner from Starnberg has taken the lead in the rankings, ahead of Danish rider Andreas Schou. The best German rider in the rankings is Christian Kukuk, who did not participate in the Stockholm event and is currently sitting in fourth place.
