GERMANY made history at the start of a new era of team showjumping as the first winners of the brand new Longines League of Nations, with the new format making for compelling viewing.
In a contest that was fierce to the end, with team fortunes oscillating dramatically, the Germans snatched victory at the 11th hour, relegating long-time leaders Ireland into second, with Sweden staying strong for third.
“It's a super start in the Olympic season, and I'm very happy and proud of my four riders,” said German chef d'equipe Otto Becker.
