FEI European Jumping Championships for Juniors and Young Riders: 25 - 29 July, Auvers (FRA)

With the coveted Junior European team title up for grabs yesterday, the unexpected took over. Indeed, following a fantastic day of sport and suspense, Sweden emerged as the Junior European Jumping Champions despite the fact that they were placed only 8th at the onset of the second round where the number of teams had been reduced from 25 (in the first round) to 12. While for Germany the successes in the first round were not matched in the second which saw them relegated to second place. To the delight of the crowds, France, on home ground, took the Bronze medal, with again a remarkable climb up the ladder following the first round.
