Get well soon to Michael Jung, who’s had a month of some serious ups and downs — including a second, official nuptial ceremony with longtime partner Faye Füllgraebe — and who recently took a pretty gnarly tumble with his German National Champion, Highlighter, in the CCI3*-S at Switzerland’s Alpine Cup. He assures us he’s doing just fine after a routine visit to hospital for further observation, and we want to take a moment to give particular kudos to one German press release which, when run through Google Translate, informed us that “nothing is broken, but everything hurts a bit.” Honestly…same?
