31/08/2014 World Equestrian Games

is the capital of Normandy, Caen. William the Conqueror built this

stronghold six years before he crossed the Channel. It is known as

Terre de Cheval, which translates as horse country. And once again the

place has been overrun by chevaux, this is the venue for the largest

horse event ever staged, showcasing diverse sport, and this is where the

best in the world come to compete in the Olympic disciplines. Great

Britain has the number one rider in all three.

As well as building his castle in Caen William the conga establish

this, the Abbe aux Hommes, where men were kept separate from women. -

William the Congress. Scott Brasch was recently confirmed as the

leading rider in the world. The winner this afternoon, the world 's

number one, getting in outing, it is Scotland's, Great Britain's Scott

Brasch. As in the countryside this is Aran des Pins, one of the

national studs. Great Britain are the reigning world champions. -

Hara du Pins For the Great Britain have the number one rider in the

world, the tall and elegant William Fox-Pitt. A respectful distance from

the Abbe aux Hommes is the women's abbey, founded by Queen Matilda who

set it up for Benedictine nuns, now it is a woman who leads the way in

dressage and she is British, Charlotte deja Dujardin is

unstoppable. She took gold in the Grand Prix special and it was a

performance of so much fluency and look at his willingness to perform,

it is all about controlled power and rhythm. And supreme beauty. She

still had the freestyle to come where she can choreograph her own

moves the music of her choice and this is her favourite event.

Great Britain 's Charlotte Dujardin. With Valegro.

Some of the most difficult intricate manoeuvres you could see all made

look perfectly simple and easy. One hurdle out of the way. We could

be watching one of the best ever, nations in the world of dressage.

Making history, she holds the world record for the freestyle at 92. 79%,

that would win her the third and final championship title, the World

Championship. Beautiful. This is a truly

magnificent performance from Charlotte and Valegro yet again

What a combination, what a horse and rider, what a trainer from Carl

Heston, what a terrific owner, thank you also much. We are watching

something very, very, very special. That is the best you will ever see

of a reverse pirouette, incredible. CHEERING

Well, is it a world record? If it isn't she is a winner of the world

title. Here she is, your immediate reaction? I cannot believe it,

honestly, absolutely gobsmacked I don't know what to say. After London

2012I did not think it would get much better but last year I got

double gold at the Europeans. This week has been going so well. I was

praying I could maybe pull off it today and I cannot believe it. How

quickly do you know whether Valegro is on song. Touchwood he is always

on song, I never have to worry about it. Today I could feel he was a bit

tired but he gave me his all in the arena. That is what makes him so

special. He always keeps trying The crowd loved it, they gave you such a

reception. All week I have had a fantastic reception, it is great to

have that support, all of those fans cheering you on. You can stay

motivated on the days when it is cold and raining at home because of

moments like this. Absolutely, it makes it all worthwhile. I cannot

have been the only one fighting back the tears, so beautiful to see her

and Valegro. Now we will turn our attention to the three-day eventing,

in the countryside in Normandy we will see the world 's leading

riders, you would think that they would be up there competing for the

gold medal. But don't rule out Great Britain, the team of four including

three from London 2012, who brought home the silver medal and one new

name, so let's meet the British team.

Four years ago in Kentucky, William Fox-Pitt won an individual silver

medal. These days he is riding Chilli Morning and they took the

individual bronze last year at the European Championships in Sweden. He

is a super horse, I have had him for three years, lovely horse. Quite

eccentric, here's a stallion, in fact he is the leading stallion in

eventing. We have formed a great partnership, some good results. I am

hoping we can put in another good performance. Zara Phillips one

individual gold at the world Equestrian games in 2006 and

following time-outs last year to have a baby she has made a

successful return to the team. It is great to be here and part of the

team again. Just really looking forward to it. Getting your muscles

and your core and everything back to where it was after having a baby was

quite hard work. But it is like a drug, you want to do it again and

stay at the top and keep putting out those best performances. Almost

exactly a year ago, Harry Mead suffered an horrific fall in which

he shattered both arms. Against all the-year-olds he has made an

astonishing recovery. Quite a few months of operations and rehab and

it was a lot of unknown ground in there and I did not know whether I

would get back in the sport and a year to the day later I am at the

World Championships. Quite a fairy tale year. Already a two-time team

gold medallist, Tina Cook this year will pair up with her 11-year-old De

Novo News, also known as Herman My brother was the first one who had

seen it, he said it was ugly, looked like Herman Munster. So he kept the

name. This horse is still not the finished article and I still believe

there is more improving to come from him but it is exciting he is at the

World Championships. If we can put in good performances as a team and

riders, we would not be far away from goal. That is the British team

and add to that two individuals with Olivia Wilson, Ian Stark alongside

me part of the gold medal winning team in 1986. What should we expect

out of this team? At the beginning with this selection process we had a

very exciting team, some good young horses. A couple of them went lame,

sadly but still we have an experienced team. Great that Harry

Meade has been given a chance at last. When I arrived here I was not

that convinced they would be gold medal contenders but then I walked

the course and got excited because I thought it was a real British

course, long and undulating and muddy. They should benefit.

Overnight they have taken out two of the fences and a minute of distance

so that will change, but I think the Brits might be struggling now. Fifth

after the dressage, they might be struggling to get into the medals.

We will confirm those dressage places in a moment but the other

significant thing is that this is the first opportunity to qualify for

Rio? Getting in the first six is important. They will want to qualify

early and not leave it to the last gasp and hopefully they will do

that. The New Zealand team probably has the highest average age, do you

see them as favourites? Without a doubt. The Germans are in the lead

after the dressage but the Kiwis will relish these conditions. They

have some great horses and brilliant riders. The team has fantastic

experience. They will push the Germans to the last minute. What

about the individual medals? Hopefully William is up there, he

certainly had a great performance in the dressage and he is a brilliant

competitor. Could not ask for more. Chilli Morning is a classy horse,

has won a lot of competitions. I do not knowing if he has been under

pressure in wet conditions but I think William will be up there. The

cross-country will sort it out but let's confirm the placings after the

dressage. Germany leading the way in the team standings ahead of New

Zealand and the United States. Great Britain just ahead of the

Netherlands and Canada. In the individual, edition Sandra Auffarth

recorded the best score ahead of William Fox-Pitt. This is the horse

that tested positive and burly, Clifton promised. Michael Jung is

the defending champion and Nicola Wilson, great test for her in 1 th

on Annie Clover. Therefore the cross-country got underway we take a

look at some of the challenges facing the field. Riders have been

on a gently descending right-hand turn before they come to this fence,

and it goes seriously downhill. They land down there. It is a long way

down and then the first of three fairly serious water, nations. Only

six strides to recover after the big drop and then this very narrow

fronted fence. Not only is it now to approach but there is a widespread

with a fairly large drop into the water. When they get over that they

get the sea element, another narrow fence and then only three strides to

get that right. There is a slower route but if they take that they

will struggle. This is a tribute to one of the historic monuments but

the riders are not appreciating the painting. What is the tricky part

which the clever thing is that the numbering of the fences, this ditch

is the second element, B and C, when you get down here, it is also the

modest part, if you attempt the ditch you have to have a go at ease.

If you divert to the alternative it means you have to jump C twice. They

would then be eliminated. -- you have to have a go at D. The horse is

starting to get tired by this point. Inevitably, pretty undulate in, long

course, the ground will be heavy. Very wet. Only the riders will know

how the horses are feeling. The most important thing is that the riders

are fit enough to help the riders when they get tired. They have to

react to the situation. This step up to the finish, quite a tough

question, the solid part is pretty low. The main thing is they get onto

the line for the second fish in the middle of the water. There is an

alternative to this step up and it is this single element and drop into

the second water but if they do that they have to go around the big

circle, jumping the jetty and then turn another circle. If horses

getting tired that could exhaust them even more. COMMENTATOR: Away

goes the first, it is Mark Davison, Bruce Davison here watching his son.

He wrote four years ago in Kentucky when America finished fourth, he is

riding this Irish bred horse. 4 .7 in the dressage, 28 individually but

the Americans sat very comfortably. Hara de Pin Posted the 1969 World

Championships. You can see the big spread. -- hosted. It is downhill to

that fence, pretty vertical face. They have two respected, then the

first of, nations, four and five. The riders have been worried about

this. Over the top of the flag, got away with that. It is very early to

be influential. The interesting part about this cross-country, really an

gelatin. We thought it would be a horseman scores when it was

full-length. But the minute off that may help some of them. The

judgement not quite so difficult, but the important aspect is the

going. It will be sticky. It will be sticky, it will be interesting. The

first couple of horses it might not be too bad but when it cuts up it

may start drying out and get sticky. They have forecast rain so it may go

the other way. There is a choice of routes here. Looks as though he is

going the inside line, taking the quickest route. The French on the

homeground, huge support. The scores are very close. France did not have

a happy time in Canterbury four years ago. Pascal finished in 2 th,

in very good form. He looks as though he is set for the quicker

route. He has run past it. That is 20 on the board for that. In essence

that is a manner of losing momentum. This horse will not get round, if he

has another refusal he will be asked to leave the course. He is going the

alternative route, the black flag it, but he has put his hand up. Wow.

That is drama. Very sensible move, the horse was getting pretty tired.

And he had said no at the fence and to try it again when the horse has

run out of penalty like that -- petrol like that, was risking a

fall. Pascal Leroy. The horse looks full of running. But he has run out

as well. That did not seem to be a real worry, particularly when there

had been so many early on. It is at the end of the cause, it is a big

step up. I thought when we were watching it that the actual solid

part of the fish was quite small. They are just not focusing on it.

Look at the time in the bottom right-hand corner, that is the time,

counting down. Ten minutes 30 is the optimum time, for every second point

for penalty, he now has less than 30 seconds to get home. Zahra Tindall,

Zara Phillips looking very serious at the moment. Cannot blame her Of

course this horse owned by Trevor Hemmings, huge supporter of the

question world in general. This has won the Grand with those famous

colours, but he will be watching every move of this, nation. Former

world champion, from 2006, she sets out on her horse, High Kingdom. Of

coarse had a daughter earlier this year, has not had a big preparation

but they are a combination who often come to their best when it really

matters. Britain need that today. Had a odds of 54.5, Zara and High

Kingdom. -- had a dressage of 5 .5. It is this phase that will matter.

One of the quickest over those first three fences. It is not that long

since she had a baby. Quite tough to get back to this sort of level of

competing in fitness but no one more determined than Zara. Wasting no

time, very quickly back into the river. In the silver medal team in

London of course on this very horse. Irish bred, one of the great jumping

horses out of Ireland in recent times.

This is a lady who knows how to get horses, she knows her point to

pointing, so every hope that this horse will be fit to run for its

life and that I think is going to be very important. She certainly thinks

he is fit enough, not hanging around. One of the quickest so far,

she is going the quicker route here on fence seven, turning inside the

trees. Huge jump over the second house. The draw in the British team

running order caused a lot of interest. Zara going first. And

William Fox-Pitt going second. With Tina Cook going third and Harry

Meade fourth. But with the circumstances we find ourselves in

with these ground conditions that could be very shrewd. Of course

under the management of Yogi. Zara and High Kingdom at the first water.

Well written. Good bit of rebalancing, she did not just gun

down into the rushes, she added another stride. She gave him time to

jump the fences. Difficult to see this fence that one of the widest

fences on the course. Looks quite insignificant sitting there. Two

metres, the championship with. That is a long way. -- width. Zara

changing her whip over, getting ready for the left turn. Zara

Phillips, High Kingdom, the first of the British team out on the course.

She was plenty quick enough into the ditch and nearly paid the penalty.

But she is still clear. Good reactions from Zara, she kept hold

of the left rains, used every inch of her body to get the horse ran

that turn. -- rein. Zara has had to work hard on her fingers, not found

it easy. Well aware that she as well as the horse need to be fit. As we

see again the water, the first of three waters on this course. If you

are just joining us, the distance has been changed, one minutes being

taken off, now it is 5982 metres, with the optimum time of 10.30.

Nobody anywhere near yet, five round. Did not get very high over

that brush, taking a liberty, High Kingdom. But still running on well.

Coming to this major water complex. I do not think there is any doubt

that Zara Wood wants to keep going straight. -- would. Sit tight, sit

tight! That was a bit hairy. She was a long way off that first, the horse

was brilliant in that he responded and kept jumping. Zara Phillips was

just about left off the back door. Coming home to the last, good news

from Australia, after disappointing news that Christopher Burton had to

withdraw, jumping the last. And he is going to be some 45 or 46 seconds

over. He moves on to 71.7, for the first rider for Australia. Now we

are back with Sara. Keep -- Zara Phillips. She landed over that one.

And she is still intact. My word, that horses being generous, very

generous indeed, pictures now of the Polish rider, he is asking if he has

jumped the corner or not. Zara Phillips living dangerously. This is

where her fitness and the horse is fitness will count. What is her

time? The first of the British team riders, they could pull up a long

way, they could get three clear rounds, she is still counting down.

She is not over the optimum time yet, she will get time penalties,

that is for sure. She is still a quarter of a mile away from home.

The horse is definitely beginning to look a little bit weary but he is

responding to her, which is a good sign. Yes he is responding, she is

having to work and the fitness of Zara Phillips coming into play as

much as the Horst white don't make an error now Zara Phillips, come on.

Really they are both feeling a little bit weary, when they get

home, just a last note, no dramas here we hope. She is going to be

over the time, counting 30 seconds plus, but the horse has done so well

and so has Zara Phillips to be fair. High Kingdom did help her out once

or twice, at 68.9 it puts her at the moment as the top individual. It is

good news for Britain's first team rider. Marked model of New Zealand,

-- Mark Todd. He is on course. The world Olympic and European champion

is getting ready to go. Michael Jung, he is the first for the

Germans, this is a nine-year-old mare. Sadly he went out about two

weeks ago, his original horse, this is a different horse to the one that

he won the Europeans in Malmo a year ago. Great dress arch. This will be

interesting now. Germany of course Olympic champions, European

champions but they are not world champions, Britain won that in

Kentucky's 4-mac years ago -- great dressage. To get forth in dressage

is pretty impressive, it is not one that I know well, he is certainly

set up with determination. Zara Phillips has just about recovered

from the fastest clear so far? I know, it is really hard work out

there, just put the leg out, and, they cannot gallop the same way so

it is really tough on them. Wasn't he a star? I was brilliant -- he was

bred, I was saying come on man, keep going it was tough on him. Was this

one of the toughest cross-country is you have had to do with fitness and

coming back? Definitely, London was hard because it was like riding a

motorbike track, but this you have got terms, hills, ground, it is just

horrible for them. They are going through it but it is not the same as

they are used to and you have got to make sure that you write that way.

How did you feel? I felt all right actually, he is such a star, you

know? A couple of places I was hanging on the back, he keeps on

going and is brilliant, I am just so glad that he is here and able to

prove that, you know? And you are back on the British team? I know,

and line have never been Howard first either, it is nice to get on

and get on with it -- I know, and I have never been out first either, it

is nice. Second water, flies through that. Very well written. He has got

such a good gear going, the horse is not having to put a big effort into

the jumping, he is just going along. And a fall! It is a fall for Mark

Todd! It is that third water. That is really bad news for the Kiwis. It

means that they are down to three because the great Sir Mark Todd is

out, we will see what the reason for that was in just a moment. Here we

go. He is pushing for the step up by the looks of it. Oh! It lands on its

knees and he tries so hard to hang on, but sadly gravity takes over.

Michaeljohn, the first of the German team getting going, he is counting

down -- Michaeljohn. Pretty experienced mare. She is a mine old,

and is beginning to look a little bit weary suddenly she has suddenly

slowed down, and got a little tap. Still inside that ten minutes 3 , he

is not going to get there but he could be quicker than High Kingdom

and Zara Phillips, the fastest so far. Absolutely, it is a climb up

this final few minutes of the course. 2-mac minutes to jump, time

penalties from now, here we are from the world Olympic champions,

they were after dressage, on a score of 40. It had them right up there,

in fourth place at the last, Michael Jungle for Germany, this is a very

good start for them, this is the quickest we have seen so far --

Michael Jung. Stopped the clock with 29 seconds over. So he gets

11.6 in time penalties. Philip Dutton is in the early stages, we

are into the second riders for each team, coming down to the first of

three big Waters, on this World Championship cross-country. He gets

a nice six in there, waits for the water, just landed a bit steep and

short, as he was in the water. Philip quite rightly saying, come on

chap, keep your eye on the job. As we see Claire Rabbit, an individual

for Ireland. -- Claire Abbott. That is a bit of a surprise. Tour costs

through the fall? Well he was going very good, it looked like he had

some petrol left, when he gets tired, he does not look very

reactive, and we just got a horrible distance on the bank and I could not

get him, and he smacked into the side of it and that was the end of

its. Are you both OK? We are fine, he walked away, he is bright. Philip

Dutton is 50 years old, now very happily married, and the horse is

saying no! Sit tight, you don't move this man easily, this horse, he is

definitely seeing stars. He is not going to go, is he? No. The

Americans are in real trouble. Out of all chance of a medal team wise,

he is retiring. That happened literally in the blink of an eye.

The defending world champion Michael Jung has set a rig market, how did

it feel to you? Very hard-working today, the ground is a bit soft it

is very hard-working to galloping between the fences, but the horse

did a really good job, I gave a bit more time between the fences in the

end, but when you motivate the horse is a little bit, waking up and

concentrating and listening to the rider, so I am very happy about my

horse. And the second French rider, Cedric, he has ducked the wrong

side! He has got a 20, definitely. It was such a good ride, he was just

a little bit free, he was very casual would probably be the right

word. He saw a spot to attack. And you can see now that he has gone a

long way back, he has lost a bit of time because he was not thinking

clearly, he went a long way back to jump that alternative fence, this is

not an easy fence when you turn away from home. But he is away. Just 20

jumping penalties for that refusal but that is two of the French team

for 20 and they had up. -- add up. There it is, the world 's best

rider, Britain come with three world ranked number ones, now can this

man, win a world title? He has been so close, he was the silver

medallist four years ago behind Michael Jung. He was in 10th place

after dressage, Sandra Auffarth got ahead of him right at the end. And

Chilli Morniing is his horse, he is the second rider for Britain and he

is underway. William of course is the second of the British team

members, four in that team still to come, Tina Cook and Harry Mead, and

of course two important things here. Individually, he is in a very good

place, written would love to win a medal team wise, they were gold

medallists, they are titleholders defending the title, but there is

the little job of Olympic qualification for Rio, at four and

five. The only one not to take that flag out at the second corner. Just

to go back to that Olympic qualification, when we were hosts in

London, we automatically had a position but it is of course not the

case in Rio, we need to finish in the top six teams. The top six

teams, will give us qualification for Rio. Certainly the team manager

has put that has a high priority. He jumps the gate at six. -- as. He has

set off, it looks like he is having a go at the time, Zara Phillips had

a great pathfinding around for the Brits, and his own dressage test was

so good. As well as core occasion, -- qualification, William obviously

has a pretty good chance of individual medals as well. This is a

stallion that has got decent progeny has well, he was a horse that has

meddled individually, it is a horse that has been totally prepared for

this. He was a good win at Brabham, he did well, William Fox-Pitt, the

second rider for Britain, at the first of the waters, with Chilli

Morniing. William is looking determined and the horses

responding, that is very good. He is a horse that disappointed in

Kentucky Derby Mac years ago, they thought that the way to use him was

to keep him fresh -- - in Kentucky to years ago. And a

trainer produced this horse for Christopher Stone, the owner. Della

mac William has got double rains on it

is never easy if you need to readjust. It is a nice turn, one of

the best terms we have seen all day. William Fox-Pitt for Great Britain,

goes away from fence 11, of the 35 fences, he heads up one of the many

quite energy sapping hills. Over the triple bar, over the ditch, to the

rails, the bar comes a bit later, similar fences in many ways. This

stallion, look at that. Look at that look of determination on William's

face. William Fox-Pitt for Britain at the second quarter of the three.

-- second water. William! Sara Phillips gave us heart attacks there

right at the start and William did not make us all together feel

comfortable -- Zara Phillips. But he is being positive, that is one good

thing. But it was quite interesting, that water, he jumps so boldly,

everything else has been finding it quite long. It just shows his scope.

You can see here, he saw a stride and he had to go for it, quite close

to the second. It was very sharp. Let us not prejudge anything here,

it is a nice reassuring pat, he has still got some nice questions to

come. Now over halfway round, this course, which has certainly caused a

number of upsets. Beautiful. Absolutely spot-on. This man is

known as Mr cool. Now, this water. William Fox-Pitt, Chile more,

Britain's second team rider, coming to the second most influential jumps

so far. He holds onto it. That is well ridden. Lesser horsemen would

have given up on that. Now, we should not be saying this to William

Fox-Pitt but hold it together William. We had a cute kittens this

morning from British riders, let us have no more. We are counting down,

35 seconds to get home. He won't do that but the fastest time we have

seen so far is from Michael Jung, who got home in just under 11

minutes. It didn't go as his best shot there. He is beginning to

weary, he is still running on. He is, you are right, two fences to go,

still counting down. This sport over the years, it has changed the Matic

key, it is all about judgement of pace, knowing your horse, has this

man absolutely done this to the team? He is now in time faults, he

has got the last fence, William Fox-Pitt for Great Britain, bringing

them back into the medal and the world title, in 2014. He gets it and

he is home, he is 31 seconds over, he is quicker than Michael Jung not

quite actually, he is just a bit slower. New Zealand, Tim at the

first. He gets the extra stride he leaves the back legs on the fence,

he gets away with it. As a way goes Ingrid Klimke for Germany, the

individual silver medallist, in Malmo for the Europeans on this

lovely mare, my word she impressed us there. A tenure rolled, she was

fifth in dressage, not the sort of start that would give you

confidence? It was not the best at least the horse realises it has got

to do some concentrating. Setting off at 1 million miles an hour, she

has done that before And Actually Four Years Ago, IN KENTUCKY, SHE DID

THE SAME, SHE GOT HOME, but my word, only just, Germany did not have a

good competition for years ago. After that they have been

unbeatable. Good there. Tim Price, in the middle

water. Very nice indeed. So William Fox-Pitt after a clear round has

leapfrogged Michael Jung, Zara Phillips is still in third. First of

all, your reaction to your round? I'm hugely relieved, watching it

all, your reaction to your round? horrendous and it is proving

incredibly tough, he is a seriously good horse, but he has never been

asked to do what he has done today, I'm so proud that he is the world

number one stallion, progeny on the ground, the pressure was on. Chris

was saying forget he has got a reputation, but he tried so hard and

I think every stride was a slog every stride was a plug, and you

could feel them working. Forget anything I have ridden in before,

the ground today makes Badminton looked like good ground. You tried

to preserve the energy of the horse? I had to get home, it is not riding

well, it is no good if you don't get through to the finish and he was

dead right, of course I got slowly and I wasted time early on, there

was not left in the tank, I have not seen many finishes at all. I am

thrilled that he kept on jumping and that his heart stayed right in it.

Phew. Remember Germany already with one team member around, Michael Jung

got them off to a cracker. Ingrid Klimke at the first water. Now what

happens? I would think that would not matter, if she goes around, she

can correct that and she will not be penalised. It is my reading of the

situation, she had to go to the right-hand side of the Lord if she

did. Can she do that without crossing the tracks? No is the

answer. That is a good point. There is a picture, we don't know why it

is Tim Price walking home. The Kiwis will be devastated. Absolutely

devastated. And that is obviously, at least something that has happened

before, two from home. We are back, with Ingrid Klimke, this is crucial

I would suggest now. Well ridden. Nothing chancy about that. Nicola

Wilson, riding here as an individual. Quick recovery there.

Picked it up very quickly, and it was back between hand and leg, in

control is what that means. Ingrid Klimke. And Ingrid Klimke is home

for Germany, and the tenure rolled, two Germans are home. She has got 32

time penalties, 73.6, no jumping penalties of course, that is the

important bit. Nicola Wilson at the second. Very gutsy and determined

bit of riding. Responding to everything. All of those years of

experience, putting them to really good effect, the young mayor, ten

years old, championship course. -- horse. Well done. That was well

done. One of the very few, that we have seen bounce that step. She had

assessed it, got it, knew where she was going. You don't normally see

this girl doing any thing, I just got the impression as she turned

away, that she was grimacing her teeth, and saying come on, we have

got a chance to get in the big time. Still clear, and we are still

counting down. We have still got 30 seconds. Again, won't do it. No she

won't. The best we have had is still Michael Jung, 59 seconds. Just 9

seconds over. That is the best. Ten minutes 30 is the time, still

counting down. The mayor is still jumping. Through the trees and the

sheep, coming for home, another wave of the one and from Nicola. I think

that she is responding, still responding which is good to see

Just need to get a good shot here, the last thing you want to do is tip

up the little box on the way home, we have now got time faults coming

up towards the 32nd mark, as the last fence appears, this has been an

excellent round, she has been part of the success of Britain in the

last ten years. She is at the last, and over, coming home, 45 seconds

over, she is going to get 18 time full, 64 and she goes third. The

last water for the Frenchman. And he can still wave to the crowds, not

quite yet. There it is. Will he be the next French president? Blowing

kisses even. There is talk of change. Weld ridden, very positive.

Ingrid Klimke is with me now, getting around and staying with your

horse is a triumph? Yes I'm ready happy because last night, spoke

about everything and what can happen, so exactly this situation we

spoke about, that you must make sure that you don't cross your line,

whatever happens, sit, turn, jump, last element, go up turn and don't

cross your line. OK, turn, no crossing and then I switch off my

watch, and now surviving is everything, make sure that you come

safe home. But I must say, the ground, identity will see it much on

television but it is taking a lot out of the horses -- I didn't think

we will see it much. Black tie is 13 years old, I think there are

instructions out there for the British team. That is the sort of

place you can easily lose your rhythm. He can do that, that is no

problem. Two numbered fences, quick thinking by Ollie. The crowd is

really building up now, they are getting noisier. Really fantastic

from start to finish. The crowd was cheering us on, it was lovely, at

every single fence I heard my name. It is lovely. You could fill the

horse, who is going backwards and forwards as well, such a treat and

privilege. Oliver Townend, the individual for Britain, an black

time. -- on Black Tie. He has put his hand up, and again, he landed

very short on that bank. A little wary. Definitely weary, he was very

quick as soon as the horse landed, to put his hand out. You have got to

try, championship. Good to see him jump off. He made the right

decision. He will be back. Here now is the last, Peter Flarup, can you

believe it, clear until then. Lucy Jackson, the individual for New

Zealand, could it be the same? Would you believe that? Would you believe?

There is a horse and rider that had gone so well, and another one to

succumb to the third water. We saw Oliver Townend calling it a day it

is really tough out there. It is tough, it is his second chance at

this level, he was for the last time round. But I think he was caught out

by the grounds, it is -- he is a very small horse when you stand into

him and even when he was jumping well he felt like he was landing in

a heap and we were ending up on half distances all the time. He tried his

best. I think come another big event on firmer ground I do not think we

will see him do that. Will he get a break now? He is 100%. Even to turn

back on the alternative was hard work and he still wanted to do it,

bless him. We will have a well-deserved holiday, hopefully.

William Fox-Pitt leading, 50.3, Michael Jung in second. The world

Olympic and European champion, reigning world champion. Then Annie

Clover, Nicola Wilson, brilliant round, currently in third place

Only two to go for Peter Thomsen. One of the quickest up this hill, I

have to say. Bit of a flyer, the first we have

seen do that all day. And his time will be crucial. Peter Thomsen at

the final fence the Germany, that is a good score for the German team.

Peter Thomsen finishing with 14 time penalties. He moves into third

place. Qalao Des Mers with Maxime Livio, third team rider on this

ten-year-old. Important round for France if they are going to get

themselves back into contention So far, so good, as he makes his way to

the middle water. On the whole this water has jumped well. It has,

actually, quite a formidable line as you approach the water. The horses

are seeing it well in advance. No real surprises. As long as the

riders are positive it seems to be working. There is a very nervous

French team. I do not think they have any fingernails left. And we

joined the Dutch rider rumour has it. , now quite experienced, 51

dressage, a good line to the corner, a good line to both corners. The

French crowd beginning to raise the Cheers, the best French performance

so far, Maxime Livio an Qalao Des Mers, he is into the penalty times.

.4 for every of those seconds that ticked by. He comes to the last the

Frenchman, Maxime Livio, the first-team member and he is over the

last, a good round. One of the new stars on the block for France. No

jumping penalties. Looks like 1 .2, a quick round. Despite going the

long way. He has gone into third. Watch the faces now, look at that,

yes, they are pleased. So the first water now for Canada's

Bennett-Awad. That will be a 20 That certainly is, oh dear, quite a

surprise. I walked this course and I thought there could not be a better

course for this horse that she has not really been travelling since the

fourth fence. The big decision again. She has not really been

travelling forward and jumping out of her normal rhythm. Very

irritating 20 penalties to get. 60 penalties. Maxime Livio the youngest

member of the French team, you have just completed clear,

congratulations, how did you find it? It was amazing, really. I run

every weekend everywhere in France, Europe, in cross-country and I have

never spent moments like this. Because all of the French people

were here for us. Was crazy. To hear them from the first fence to the

last. It was amazing, really. Back with Tina. Kristina Cook the third

rider for Britain, has started. Very experienced rider, relatively

inexperienced horse. Silly run out at the start of the cross-country at

Badminton this year. Then got themselves together and jumped a

brilliant round over what proved to be a very difficult course. Former

European champion of 2009, Olympic individual and team Ron 's medallist

in Hong Kong, one of Britain's great. Tina Cook, on this home De

Novo News. This is 64, Carlos Fernandez, the Spanish rider, on the

floor. And this is the fall at the log file, that is the incident that

put the Spanish combination out of the competition. -- log pile. It is

a big fence, it has been a near miss for one or two. But Tina comes now

to this combination. Looking good. No one better going at third man

Tina, very important part of the team. Huge experience. -- third van.

Had a great junior career. Completed in 1993 in the Europeans. She has

been at the forefront of the sport ever since. On some great horses.

Gold medallist in the World Championships of 1994. Tina Cook at

the water. Very well written. Shook the horse

up at the right time, got his attention and then wrote it. --

ridden. All of her experience showing. It is those black colours,

and it is the black colours of the man who won Badminton in 2012, John

Padgett -- Jonathan Paget. He has been hitting the headlines of course

that he would like to put the past behind him on the horse he won

Badminton on. He is away. New Zealand now wanting some good news,

not a lot of that so far. Paget Over the first two fences. Tina Cook back

at the water. Trying for the bounce. Very good. Very good.

Well-organised, well setup. John Paget setting up pretty quickly

Price came unstuck as well. I have a feeling, though he has run out.

Well. That is another disappointment for the Kiwis. It is not going

right. They were very definitely fancied to give the Germans a real

run for the gold medal but they are not going to do it. And of course,

remember, he was in third place at the dressage on 38, one of the three

to go under 40 and that will put him out of the individual.

Tina Cook coming towards home. The problem is not over yet. Now what is

happening here? This is Paget surely walking off course. We are with Tina

Cook, and according to the computer she is still clear. She is coming to

the last fence. A clear round is exactly what Britain wants, she is

35 seconds over and counting. At the last, the third member of Britain's

team, definitely one to put Britain in the fight for a medal and she is

through. This young horse has twice been around Bampton, twice had just

the odd run out and have always said that this is a horse that can do the

job and he has proved it this afternoon so she has finished on

67.6, and that puts her in sixth. Britain now in a very strong place.

Dirk Schrade Goes for Germany. Not the most orthodox jumper but has a

great heart. Goes very high over his fences. Well. Things are changing.

They are. 36-year-old Dirk Schrade, 20 jumping penalties, he scoops

around to jump the next fence, the long way. He will lose time. Part of

the team gold medal in London. He is away. He will need to keep his head.

He will not need to gallop this horse off its feet. This I think now

is the Long Way round, hitting the top, gives him a ducking, says I do

not want to go in there if that is what happens. And down goes Denis

Mesples at one of the softer fences. Tina Cook has ensured that Britain

will be riding for a medal tomorrow. Congratulations. Thank you, I am so

pleased. One of the most difficult championship courses and I'm really

pleased with this young horse. He seems to have a lovely long stride

so you don't have the hook him up too much and. I was not sure how he

would cope on this ground. He is by a thoroughbred but he does not have

the acceleration like a thoroughbred and it was trying to judge the pace

early that I had some left for the last few fences which some were

struggling with. He is really honest, were there any moments you

had a worry? Loads! Even if it goes well whenever you have a

cross-country round. Not really scary but so many of the

combinations you have to be on top of your game, really making it very

clear. There are places where the ground is quite soft. It has dried

amazingly and they have done a fantastic job to make it as good as

they can but it is a real stamina test. That is a good sign, Denis

Mesples on his feet, the France but that does mean elimination. And

there is a dark out, the second refusal for Dirk Schrade and Hop And

Skip. He has now got 40 jumping penalties. Pressure will be on the

lady who did so well in the London Olympics. So, this competition is

going to go right down to the wire. Hop And Skip looking weary away from

the water. Only four fences to jump. Away goes John Al Price, her husband

Jim on the team hair. -- Jonelle Price For the now can she bring some

pride back for the family and for New Zealand? Dirk Schrade coming

home, Hop And Skip with 40 jumping penalties and time penalties as

well. He has 135.3. They will want to discard by one, the Germans, that

will be the job of Sandra Auffarth. This is the team situation and the

moment. This is with three riders to count. That means that Hop And Skip

is in there. It must do. Germany have the lead but only just ahead of

Britain. One or two big names there at the end, United States and New

Zealand, with big scores because anybody who does not get around gets

1000 penalties. As we look at the scoreboard, four British riders in

the top seven. Who would have thought that would be the case? It

is not over yet. It could change. As Jonelle Price puts in another lovely

piece of writing over 36 and 27 -- riding. Classic Moet still answering

all the questions at the moment Back with Andreas Ostholt for

Germany. Jonelle Price has not eased up, and nor has this man. He is

flying, I have to say. That is worrying me. The middle water. 5,

16. 17. Gives you much more of an idea of the angle. It is the first

time we have seen it like that. I think so. Could this be anywhere

near that time? Have not got any body near, and she is only just

outside the time now. This is the quickest we have seen. A great round

by Jonelle Price, she does what her husband tried to do and she does it

very well indeed. Well done, third place. Classic Moet. 52.5, just four

time penalties, that means that this individual is still far from over.

And for Belgium, Karin Donckers 40.3 in the dressage, she has been a

member of the Belgian team for a lot of years now, very experienced.

Belgium have had their disappointments today. Their first

rider the Belgium this morning, did not get round. Third rider, went

very well, Lara De Liedekerke. Just outside the top ten now. So now it

is definitely up to Karin Donckers. This is Andreas Ostholt. Coming

through to the last two fences for Germany. He is an age 6.3. If he

stayed on that for any reason he would go ahead of William Fox-Pitt,

if he is inside the time. It is fast, is it fast enough? Andreas

Ostholt, the individual for Germany, So Is Et. He is over. He has looked

fast, it is not quite as fast as we thought. He is 26 seconds over but a

great round from Frank's brother, who has jumped into international

recognition. The very popular Jean Teulure, he won the world title in

2002. Jean Teulere He won the world title in 2002. He is 60 years old

now. The wrong side of the flag The wrong side. It has been a

disappointing day for the New Zealand team but riding individually

Jonelle Price has just registered the fastest clear round on Classic

Moet. You set off like you were in a race. But as I came across the

finish they said to me if I started quicker I would have got the time. I

assume he was joking. Either way I had to sit and see because she was

travelling beautifully. I could not believe it as I came out of the last

water and let the rain is out and she took off up the last hill. I

could not be more pleased with the way she finished. Still full of

could not be more pleased with the running as she comes to the last

turn, Karin Donckers for Belgium. Getting hold of the horse. 33, 4

seconds over. Karin Donckers as God 13.6 time. She goes into fourth

place. This is the Aussie, an Kilronan. He says well done to the

horse, you did it better than me. Little bit backward thinking, but he

made the right decision. Would have been a long way off. Our cameraman

having a spot of fun. As now we joined Andrew Nicholson, bronze

medallist four years ago on this wonderful horse, Nereo. 45.3 his

dressage, it is certainly good enough. He was 13th but he is close.

He will not hang about. Paul Tapner trying to get his share. It is a

quickest round, but it is not quite quick enough to put him into the

frame. -- --quickish. That will put Australia back into the picture He

goes 10th individually finishing on that 66.6. An Kilronan. As a way

goes Sandra Auffarth, this is the lady that matters now, the William

Fox-Pitt. The two riders on the course will decide where we will be

at the end of the individual and insider's case, at the end of the

teams. Britain at the moment, it looks like just over a refusal

behind the Germans. The little hesitation but certainly no

penalties. He is into the water Andrew Nicholson. And as again. He

sits so still as the radio does all the work. -- Nereo. Harry Meade

coming home. Has gone clear, not that quick. But his elbows bandaged,

what a ride. There will be one very proud mum and dad for what their son

has achieved in the last 12 months. Harry Meade home, an 82.7. Sandra

Auffarth, look at that gallop, that is a long stride, that is covering

the ground. Was on 35. Just pulling a little. Pulling quite a lot,

actually. Keen to get over. Coming to the water. We will give you this

situation with Chilli Morning in a moment. My word. Living

dangerously. Bit of indecision about how much striding. Andrew Nicholson

flying. Don't disregard this man. He is in the mix. Felix Vogg just

finishing. One of the stars left, Sandra Auffarth, makes it look so

easy. Look at and stride. Andrew Nicholson coming to that final

water. The last big test. Nereo Got it. And got the other, came inside

the flag, I am pretty sure. We're back with Germany. Into the middle

water. Coming to, huge jump. Bravely sharp. Wasn't he sharp? The horse

beginning to get a little weary for Andrew Nicholson. He is counting

down Dell. And now he is counting up, coming for home. He is coming to

take seconds over, will he get ahead of William Fox-Pitt? He gets close

to the last but Nicholson is there for New Zealand. He is 17 seconds

over. He is 7.2 time and Nereo has a score of 52.5 which means that there

are four within two and Sandra Auffarth still to come. The last

horse on the course. He is a jumper, but he will have two shorten up For

that last big step. Here we go. Over the first narrow, over the second.

CHEERING It is looking good for Germany. It

is looking good for Germany for both the team and individual. It is in

this lady's hands. But I think Sandra Auffarth is going to do it.

She is going to be 30 seconds and counting. APPLAUSE

With one sense left. -- fence. She is over. And she stops the clerk at

11.11 .51. -- clock. 52.0, William Fox-Pitt stays in the lead, Sandra

Auffarth in second. Did you enjoy today? I enjoyed it, it was really

exciting. The course was not easy, the ground was really difficult But

I enjoyed it, the crowd was so great, so many came from Germany and

I think all the French people were supporting me because of my French

horse, so that was really nice. Great effort and to go last and do

well is terrific. Thank you. Outstanding performance by the

British team, with all four what is jumping Herbert desperately sad

news, is that Harry Meade's horse collapsed in the finishing area but

unfortunately Wild Lone has died. It is awful for this to have happened.

It is, all of the British athletes were riding superbly and

demonstrated the highest degree of horsemanship and in 11 years of

doing this job it was one of the proudest days in how they read.

Unfortunately, as you have just explained, Wild Lone, ridden by

Harry Meade, collapsed in the wash down area. There was a vet there

with the horse and other vets were in attendance immediately.

Everything that could have been done was done. But unfortunately the

horse died. It is terribly sad and as a federation and a team we send

our sympathies to Harry and his wife and as you know, the grooms

especially, and to the owners, fantastic supporters of Harry and of

the sport. It is sad but today we need to remember it as a day when

the team pulled it out the hat and coat beautifully with very difficult

course. This is a horse you have known for a long time, how did he

feel out there? He felt wonderful. The first-class ride. He felt like

he was cross country schooling all the way round. But I feel very

strongly that although the ground conditions are testing and it is

hilly, that played absolutely no part in what happened. He was well

within himself. And finished extremely well. My only regret with

the whole day is that I was possibly a little conservative and we had

more in the tank at the end. From the competitive point of view. But I

really feel that the cross-country test set today was not the cause for

the horse, really sadly dying. It is always a really tremendous shock

particularly with a horse like this who has performed so well. How will

you remember him, how good was he? Ireland is saying to my father when

he was six years old, I had been riding him the two years and I said

to my father that I felt one day people would say he was the best

cross-country course in the world and I think he has proved that in

the last few years. -- cross-country horse. He finished in third place at

Badminton in similar conditions this year. He was a real star today and

gave me a textbook ride. We really appreciate you coming to talk to us

and I am so sorry. We can just confirm the standings at the end of

the cross-country. William Fox-Pitt in the lead bird cage is not even

have one fence in hand over Sandra Auffarth of Germany and Michael

Jung, defending champion. Jonelle Price had the fastest clear round in

cross-country, wonderful piece of writing. And full marks to Nicola

Wilson, in 12 plays riding as an individual. A good team

performance. If we look at the team standings, Germany lead the way Top

six teams will qualify for Brazil, the host nation is already qualified

but the big names, not possible for them to complete because they did

not get riders around the cross-country course, it is a very

telling day, we were walking the showjumping course and obviously

Great Britain have three horses left to rely on, what is the mood in the

camp today? There is a bit of concern, they are upset about the

horse, they are a very upbeat, they performed really almost above

expectations, so they are very positive and they are all quite

capable of jumping clear here and it is luck of the day. For William

Fox-Pitt, possibly the best known in eventing, he has won everything

except for an individual title, this would be huge for him? It would be

enormous, he has won everything numerous times. I hope that it is

his day, chilling more is very capable -- Chilli Morniing. I

watched him warm up and he was in great form. I know that the team

very much wants to ride for Harry because if they win a team medal, he

will join them. There has been a lot of respect for the way he handled

things yesterday because it is really never easy, massive crowd in

the stadium and a lot of British bands. Let us see how the

showjumping phase armfuls. -- British fans, let us see how the

showjumping unfolds. COMMENTATOR: And this is Zara Phillips, with her

horse High Kingdom, great performance yesterday but we need a

clear round to put pressure on the Germans. Well Zara Phillips, first

to go for the Brits, she did a brilliant job, there is no doubt

that the first riders of the team were out there as guinea pigs, they

had to find out how the conditions were, what it was as riding. Having

just come back from a little bit of time off, courtesy of a little baby

girl, she is back in full form. Moving on to make sure that the time

is OK, not wasting any time in these terms. Keep them steady, steady

steady. Just a bit quick. On the edge of your seats at this point.

Turning for home. Down this final line. What a start! What a

performance! Zara Phillips is always at her best under pressure and we

have seen it yet again. It is a great clear round and it is still

game on between Germany and Great Britain. What about De Novo News?

The 11-year-old, homebred, by the Gifford 's, written by the former

European champion 2009, currently 14th, the same instructions as for

Zara Phillips. To keep the pressure on Germany. I'm lucky at that fence,

Tina is an incredibly experienced rider, she knows her job. And, De

Novo News, called home and at home, because his head is full of

experience. -- Herman at home. How beautifully written.

-- how beautifully ridden. Another one away. Just keep calm, here. This

final line, one to go. And lovely over the last, what a pity to have

these two down. They go on now, to 75.6, their 80s. Just got that

little bit of breathing space for Germany. We are now with Saturn for

Australia. Looking good for Australia, they were in bronze medal

position, but as it stands, they are almost certain to go down to fifth,

it did not start well. This is down to the third member to jump already,

that is currently the situation A clear round I don't think we'll be

good enough to stop them losing that bronze medal position. The Badminton

winner of 2010, riding this horse, certainly written under pressure

before, -- certainly ridden under pressure before. He is going to lift

this horse around the course if he does not jump it. He was leading

overnight after cross-country at this time, though not on this horse,

he had several fences down to finish fifth, he won't want to do that

again. This does not look like it. The last gate! Oh! Now, it is Nicola

Wilson, an individual for Great Britain, riding Annie Clover. Oh

dear! They did so well yesterday, just 18 time full is, not bad

experience, this horse. -- faults. We know that Annie Clover is a

really good horse, and normally is really good in this showjumping

phase. Just kicked the first fence out and slightly unsettled the

partnership, made a bit of a Horlicks at the second, settle down

now. Nicola who has been such a brilliant member of the team for so

many years now. But, here as an individual. But this is a serious

replacement for her. Two opposition bars who is now retired from the big

team competitions. Annie Clover certainly living up to this

responsibility, but this is a star of the future. Just showing a bit of

inexperience. Such a talented rider, if they can get together and use

this experience. Yes. They will be back. It is a difficult one, that

line, you either have two keep going, you add early. Nicola making

the mayor take a good look at that fence as they rebuild it. That is

Nicola Wilson for Great Britain With Annie Clover.

Peter Thomsen, the individual for Germany now. The horse was Olympic

gold medallist in Germany and Hong Kong, has been a tremendous servant

to German eventing. They went well yesterday, just 14 time penalties.

Currently 10th on 60.3. He is an individual, remember, still to jump

for the Germans, the world titleholder of course, Michael Jung,

and another, Sandra, Sandra Auffarth is currently in second place and

Michael Jung is currently third So much at stake in the next few

minutes. And the horse is looking good in this phase. He is so

experienced. He has been in numerous teams for the Germans. Running as an

individual here. Doing a bread job at this. -- doing a brilliant job.

That is what this squad is all about, all around horsemanship,

jumping out is so much more important than it was, this man is a

really complete horseman. Confident round. That is a copybook around,

from the individual Peter Thomsen. One chance for glory for France

coming now, just 13.2 time penalties, for a lovely round. 8.5

is his score, he is currently eight. This is their last team member. The

horse added eight to his score - another rider added eight to his

score, and another 18 as well to his score. The French have slipped out

of challenge, for the moment, France at the moment are battling with

Australia, on equivalent points Well, Maxime did a brilliant job

yesterday, and he's a doing a fantastic job here today.

But can he impress on this phase? He certainly looks as if years, he is a

real talent for France the future. -- as if he is. And he can

real talent for France the future. individual, that is a stylish clear!

And the French are jumping up and down. 58.5. Karin Donckers for

Belgium. She has been a superstar for Belgium for many years, riding

Fletcha Van't Verahof. Currently on 55.9. She has a fence down, if she

does Maxime will come up again, she is just one fence up behind the

lead, if she puts in a clear round, then

those in front of her have got to clear as well to stay ahead of her.

Everything now is costly. This horse 's very impressive across the

country. And looks equally impressive in the stadium. Just too

quickly confirmed that the Netherlands have won a bronze, that

is amazing at worlds, it means that France finish fourth and Australia

fifth. We have got the individual and team still to decide. Fix your

hat, Karen, get it right. Just keep your cool for this last line. What a

finish. She has been so near, a medal for many years, I'm afraid

that will keep her out yet again. At the last, 59.9, she will finish on.

So she drops below, Maxime who is now up to sixth. But now, the man

who won bronze individually four years ago, the great Andrew

Nicholson from New Zealand. Andrew Nicholson, bronze medal four years

ago but he is not going to do it again. He is now on a 56.5. He was

within one fence. Five of them are all within one fence of the leader.

That first fence has been expensive for a lot of competitors. Yes as we

said earlier, it seems to be the beginning of the course that has an

effect. Looks more awake now. The great Spanish show-jumper, a great

man to have outside. He is having trouble here. And he comes up again,

the French have got more to celebrate. Fighting a bit as well.

This is expensive. Throw it away. Just the last, the he leaves that

one, it is 64.5. Karin Donckers comes up, so does Boyd Martin and

Peter Thomsen. Andrew Nicholson crops right down to ninth. Tim was

in the team and he did not get around, but Janel with a lovely

11-year-old, Classic Moet. Was quite brilliant yesterday. Went around the

course quicker than anybody, was actually just with four time faults.

Just run a little bit at that third fence, with its head up. It does

ease the pressure on the potential medallists, of course. Actually that

was very unlucky because looking at this horse, it has a great jump One

eighth Shire, I believe is the breeding of this mare. One hastens

to add, by a horse that has got a lot of fans, up in Yorkshire. And

the more you watch, the more you think that was so unlucky, a very

expensive poll. She keeps it to one down, if she does she will actually

stay in fourth place. It is a good performance considering that was an

early poll. Michael Jung the only man to won all of the titles before,

riding his third horse -- to win. Currently lying third, 52.3, less

than one fence behind William Fox-Pitt. Well it is another great

performance across country, yesterday, for Mark Young. And this

horse, was bustling around that course. Answering all of the

questions. It is a clear round here, it would almost certainly guarantee

Germany's gold, I would think. Barring a disaster. That was a good

rub, he really had to work coming out of the combinations to make that

spread. As often happens, he is a bit casual that the next fence. And

with the European title last year, coming to the last, time is fine.

And he has done it! Again he has shown why he is one of the finest

horse men that we have ever seen, he has guaranteed could he still

retained his world individual title? And I think that gives Germany Gold,

we have still got Sandra Auffarth of course. Confirmation of his score,

it means that now, Britain is the best part of 20 marks behind

Germany, it has opened up. But here comes Sandra over fast, she was a

show-jumper, her parents have a very respected stud. This is an

outstanding horse, French bread it is now 12 years old, it won Olympic

individually and a team gold medal. They are a very outstanding

combination, currently lying second. Currently under two marks, one

behind William Fox-Pitt. This is one that I would have loved to have been

on yesterday, looked fantastic. Slightly hairy moment at the water

jump. So much ability is. This is a jumper. -- so much ability. Father

and son, they work so well together, the Germans. Remember Britain, they

were world champions four years ago, they could be about to be

losing that title. They are 16. marks behind. WoW and how impressive

is this jumping? And Henry, the man responsible for getting a lot of

horses home. My word. One to go Absolutely brilliant. You cannot

take it away from the German team, they have deserved that. Ingrid

going back to join them, they guaranteed gold. There is the

British team. The wife Alice, shortly to expect. This could be the

moment that we have all been waiting for, this man to achieve. The next

90 seconds will tell. Still into bronze, cannot afford another. He

won bronze in the Europeans last year. Oh! He jumping so well. Just a

tiny old rub. The last line. The time is fine I think. The last.

CHEERING He has won bronze! William Fox-Pitt,

so hoping that he would win the championship title that he deserves,

it has eluded him all his career, a classic oarsmen. But Sandra Auffarth

wins, and Michael Jung is in second position. Here is the individual

situation. Here are those team standings. Germany have done it

They have now got all of the titles. And the top six getting those

tickets to Rio. A step onto the podium, the silver medallists, of

Great Britain. It is great that Harry Mead gets a medal because he

played his part in this team, believe me. William, now Tina, she

of course was in the team four years ago as indeed William was, a world

silver medal, the first one for Zara Phillips, she has had gold but not a

silver. And now Harry Mead, his first championship, he takes home a

medal and he will be back, believe me. Great Britain win team silver,

with a very happy team head. So up steps Britain's William Fox-Pitt who

takes the bronze medal on Chilli Morniing. Well done, bronze

medallist in the individual qualification for the World

Championships. Net start with Tina Cook because when you came into this

arena my word, what a noise? It was unbelievable, especially that Zara

Phillips did a clear round, did you think, that jewel horse overreacted?

He showed a bit of inexperience it is like an Olympic Games, but he

will jump well. You let out the most enormous roar after yours? I was so

proud of him and I was happy to get him in the bag, I was happy to be

back really. To be honest that made certain that you would hang onto the

silver medal? Well I was the first, hopefully I got a good round in the

bag and the good guys would be able to do the same thing, and we could

keep that silver anyway. You have had a really torrid 24 hours, when

you stepped on the podium you got the biggest round of applause and

huge cheers? You could not have asked four more runs a fitting

tribute to that wonderful horse I'm delighted for the team. For you and

individual bronze medal as well nearly a gold but for that pesky

Pole? He could have a nearly a gold but for that pesky

very excited and he is still a nearly a gold but for that pesky

our horses nearly a gold but for that pesky
