The CICO3* (World Cup) has finished at Aachen, and the Germans defended their home turf with Team gold, though many other nations had a good weekend. Chris Burton and Underdiscussion proved that Michael Jung and Sam *are* beatable, winning by just under two points. Overnight leader Laura Collett had 4.4 time penalties on cross-country to fall to third, but apparently Rayef redeemed himself from Saumur with a great xc round.
Wow…. Rayef is a STAR!! Was an absolute machine round a tough track… All I can say is he’s back and I’m over the moon!! #eventinglive

Germany finished 4.4 points of Great Britain in the team race. Michael Jung and Christopher Burton are in prime form heading into the Olympics– each finished with two horses in the top 10. We could say that Chris Burton got a little EN karma from Samantha’s story…but clearly he’s got a lot going for him!
