No medal for the team, but the hour beats from Julia Krajewski: As a first woman she wins single gold in versatility.
Julia Krajewsi rocked uneasily back and forth, then she stormed the winning podium with a joyful jump and then listened with glittering tears in the eyes of the anthem. In the saddle of the "Liebess Lioness" Amande de B'Neville, the 32-year-old was the first woman ever Olympic champion in versatility - the golden climax of a career that could not have changed.
Tears overflowed Krajewski after the conversion from the eternal pitch marism to the golden rider in the Stallgasse everyone around the neck, who ran their way. "She's truly a very worthy Olympic champion," the national coach Hans Melzer said after 20 years of office: "That was rideric from the very finding."
After the very last golden leap in the Olympo Riss Krajewski the fist in the height and then always pointed to their self-trained mare. One of the first congratulations was Krajewski's predecessor Michael Jung, who after a Patzer in the site with Krajewski's earlier horse Chipmunk in the end landed in place. "That was really picturesbook," said the three-time Olympic champion.
Behind Krajewski, Briton Tom McEwen went with Toledo de Kerser and Australia's "eternal" Andrew Hoy with Vassily de Lassos Silver and Bronze. For Germany, it was the third riding gold in Tokyo after the two of the dressage equipment.

In the team classification, Germany had previously remained for the first time since 2004 in Athens without a medal. Behind Great Britain, Australia and France, the German Equipe remained fourth despite a great catch-up hunt.
But the focus was Krajewski - and after a year, which was ready for the 32-year-old, "what you can experience on and abs". At the beginning of the year, the father died, and she had to send her top horse Samourai you Thot in retirement. The topic of Tokyo she had "almost already added Ad acta".
The hope returned as the eleven-year-old Mare Amande "suddenly hit and delivered". The love between the horse champion and "Mandy" is a very special, on Monday the mare had been a "dear lioness". "She has a superstar with Amande now," Melzer said, "That lets for the future hope, there's a bit.

At the 2018 World Cup in Tryon / USA, she made himself a leader in the site, Germany missed the medal.
