The GLOCK duo thus landed in runner-up position, behind leader Adelinde Cornelissen (NED). On Sunday GLOCK’s Undercover struggled with the conditions at the venue. Despite poor one-tempi changes and problems with the half-pass, the judges awarded a mark of 79.125 for their overall performance in the Freestyle, putting them in fifth spot.
Edward Gal and GLOCK’s Undercover have now climbed six places from 17th to 11th in the dressage world rankings: the top ten is within reach again!
