For Lars van Meijel and Darius van Driel, the tournament ended two days later, and they didn’t make the cut in the Alps.

Ryder Smulders misses after winning the Hamburg jump in Brussels

6.02 pm: Show jumper Harry Smulders missed his jump a day after winning the “classic” competition as part of the heavily busy World Champions Tour in Hamburg at the Brussels Grand Prix. The Brabant rider, who will start the European title battle with the Dutch national team on Wednesday, made a jumping error with Monaco.

In Hamburg, Smulders didn’t need a jump on the eleventh stage of the challenging Global Champions Tour series. The 41-year-old from Brabant was the only one of 29 groups who remained clear in the first round with Une de l’Othain, so an appearance was not necessary. Smolders earned €99,000 in the German city with this victory.

Immediately after his victory, he again left for Brussels. “At first it was not my intention to go to Hamburg,” Smulders said. “But because my team probably lacked a rider there, I went at a spare speed. I only had one horse. Une de l’Othain performed better than expected, so I only went into the final. It went really well. A classic in equestrian sports. This win is a good boost.”

American Jessica Springsteen, daughter of famous singer Bruce Springsteen, won the Grand Prix in Brussels the next day. Smulders finished 14th, behind compatriot Willem Greve.

On Wednesday, Smolders will start with Bingo du Parc for TeamNL at the European Championships in Riesenbeck. The former world number one also recently participated in the Nations Cup Olympic Games in Tokyo. TeamNL stayed out of the medals there.
