Luhmühlen Winner Michael Jung Takes World Cup Eventing Final

 

Former young rider European eventing champion Michael Jung (pictured) confirmed his arrival in senior ranks by taking the World Cup title yesterday in Strzegom, Poland.

The 27-year-old German jumped a clear show jumping round to move up from second overnight on his Luhmühlen winner, La Biosthetique-Sam FBW.

After the cross-country, Michael’s fellow German Frank Ostholt (Air Jordan 2) was in line for victory. But when Air Jordan hit the middle part of the treble, Frank dropped to second place.

Michael said: “I came here having won at Luhmühlen and Wiesbaden, so obviously I knew I had a good chance, but so much can go wrong and I was quite nervous today because I wanted to do the horse justice. I’m very happy that it all turned out so well.”
