The day before leaving for the World Cup are shocked the German dressage riders. The team has to get at the gold-mission in Normandy without Totilas. The last successful horse has been injured again. “That is very bitter,” Germany coach Monica Theodorescu said on Wednesday. They must change their team shortly. For Matthias Rath and Totilas Fabienne Meier Lütke back with D’Agostino in the quartet.
“He was very disappointed,” said the German coach about the reaction of Rath . For the rider from Kronberg it is actually another heavy blow and a continuation of the losing streak. Two years ago Rath missed the Olympic Games in London, because he himself was ill. The EM in the previous year was without Rath and Totilas place because the stallion was injured.
“For him, it’s particularly galling”, Theodorescu said. But also for the whole team of the loss is a heavy blow. During his impressive comeback after two years break from competition, the duo had celebrated eight victories in eight starts, including the CHIO in Aachen. And by the successes at the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special, the couple had returned to the top rankings. With Totilas in the form shown at the CHIO strengthened the German team at the World Cup again seemed unbeatable.
“How to make the best of it,” said the trainer . Even with Lütke Meier is the German team favorite. The 24-year-old from Paderborn was a year ago, a quartet that won in Denmark at the European Championship gold.
“We still have a strong team “commented Klaus Roeser, the Chef d’Equipe of the dressage team:” But before she was even more “. Roeser continued: “This is very ugly for all involved yesterday it was still shouting for joy, now dying of sorrow..” The mood of the whole team was pressed.
“This is obviously not good news,” said FN-Sport boss Dennis Direction Finder, the of at a meeting in Caen the loss experienced. “If such a strong pair fails, then that is a weakness for each team in the world.” The quartet, which on Monday was the first day of competition, but possess enough substance to conquer. The team includes in addition to the nachgerückten Lütke Meier also Helen Langehanenberg (Billerbeck) with Damon Hill, Kristina Sprehe (Dinklage) with Desperados and Isabell Werth (Rheinberg) with Bella Rose.
” Shortly before the departure of the team after France, Totilas entered against an existing bone spur, what painful reactions to the episode had “it said in a statement the German Equestrian Federation (FN) to the violation. “This can happen quickly,” said Theodorescu. “We have consulted with Matthias, the family and the vet team. For the benefit of the horse, we have decided that it makes no sense.”
