Daniel Deusser came out top among the Youngsters, Katharina Leitsberger emerged victorious at the Amateur Tour

Suspenseful final competitions in the Youngsters' and Amateur Tour on the third day of the CSI3* made for an ecstatic audience at the GHPC. At the Youngsters' Tour, Daniel Deusser (GER) with Atlantis PP Z rejoiced over prize money of 3,500 Euros. Among the amateurs, Katharina Leitsberger (AUT) with Michael secured the victory and was rewarded with 3,000 Euros.

But before the great finale on Sunday, the suspense among the participants in the three main competitions was also on the rise: with Alex Duffy, the second-before-last day of the tournament saw an Irish winning the Silver Tour, having completed a clear round in a time of 55,82. 2nd and 3rd place went to Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) with Admara and Amke Stroman (GER) with Sundance. In the Bronze Tour, Uwe Carstensen (GER) with Quanta won ahead of Robert Puck (AUT) and Annelies Vorsselmans (BEL). In the Gold Tour, Sterrehof's Uppity with Marc Houtzager (NED) proved simply unbeatable. With these results, Houtzager, Lars Nieberg, Franke Sloothaak, Björn Nagel and Hugo Simon are among the favourites for tomorrow's grand final with prize money of 30,000 Euros.
