The Grand Prix of 4Foulee Zielona Góra ended with the win of Jarosław Skrzyczyński.
The Grand Prix competition for the prize of the patron of the event - Mr Roman Roszkiewicz - gathered 52 pairs from 16 countries on the starting list. The competition was a qualifier for the European Championships and next year's World Championships, so the course at the height of 155 cm was not easy. In the end, 10 pairs went clear, and in the decisive jump-off the win went to home athlete Jaroslaw Skrzyczynski with 10-year-old Komboy.
‘I tried to watch my rivals' rides, and if I couldn’t, [my son] Patryk told me how they went. All in all, it was good that I rode at the end, because I had a full overview of the situation, and the jump-off was not as strong as I expected, because the rivals had knockdowns. I didn't plan to win this competition, but the situation made me do it!’ - said the athlete.
Second place went to Estonia’s Juri Sokolovski with 10-year-old mare Edith, and the Top 3 was topped off by the Polish Equestrian Federation ranking leader Adam Grzegorzewski with Issem.
The final of the Small Tour - the Paulina Kopacz Memorial – ended with a win for Lithuanian representative Andrius Petrovas with Concerto Von Seeder. Second place went to Daria Kobiernik riding Chamans Pepino LL and third place to Judyta Perek with Quintus.
In the HORSEtrans Advance Tour, Małgorzata Ciszek-Lewicka was the best riding Keldita. German Steffen Krehl on Golden Gate Dree Boeken took home the second place and Filip Lewicki & Con Corazon 11 was third.
