GB's Fry claims historic double-double at Worlds
Great Britain's Lottie Fry becomes the first rider in the history of the FEI World Championships to retain both individual titles.
Lottie Fry, a rider from Great Britain, has made history by becoming the first competitor to successfully defend a World Championship title in both individual dressage and freestyle events at the FEI World Championships in Germany. This remarkable achievement is the first time in 60 years that a rider has accomplished such a feat.
Fry and her horse, Glamourdale, delivered a stunning performance, earning a final score of 91.907%, narrowly missing their personal best. The result has placed them at the top, securing another gold medal for Great Britain at the competition held in Aachen. Fry expressed her joy, stating that Glammy performed beyond all expectations and that the experience was incredible.
The GB eventing team, featuring Ros Canter and Laura Collett, finished with individual silver and bronze medals respectively, making them the only nation with three riders in the top seven. The showjumping phase of the event is next, with GB already leading the pack after the dressage and cross-country phases.
