SWITZERLAND won their fifth European title in the 46-year history of the FEI Jumping European Championships at Riesenbeck International last weekend after a nail-biting team final went to the wire.

In the end, the Swiss held on to win gold over the home nation of Germany in silver, but it was an intense battle until the very last fence. The Tokyo Olympic champions Sweden fell off the podium in the final round, opening the door for the 2019 European champions Belgium, the star team of the day with all four riders producing clear rounds to take bronze.
