Yoshiaki and Calle 44 took the lead after Friday’s dressage, when the rider’s own 13-year-old Holsteiner gelding (Cristo 5 x Sara IV, by Quebec) posted a 27.4. They gave the lead to second-placed Paweł Spisak (POL) with Banderas after having picked up a bit of time cross country, but earned it back again on show jumping day to win the class by just eight-tenths of a point. Harald Ambros (AUT) riding Lexicon finished third.
The CCI4*-S class also determined the medalists of this year’s Polish national championships for seniors. The gold medal went to Paweł Spisak (POL) for the eighth time in his career. Mateusz Kiempa (POL) took the silver, and Małgorzata Korycka (POL) went home with the
