Aug. 5, 2015, 12:28 p.m. – back to all news

It was a great weekend at the CSI3* show in Samorin, an event that also hosted the Olympic Qualifier for Group C - which included Ukraine. In order to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, the team needed to win - and so they did after great rounds from Cassio Rivetti, Ferenc Szentirmai and Rene Tebbel. Kathi did not even have to jump the second round as the anchor rider, as the victory was already secured.

Individually it was also a very good weekend; Zipper and Kathi won the Platinum Final on Saturday and Air Chin Z was placed in all her classes including Sunday's CSI3* 1.50 Grand Prix.
