Marlen Fallak kept her head clear in the cones and drove magnificently, deserving the first place. Saskia Siebers did a fantastic job as well by staying clear in the cones and climbed to the second place. Leader after dressage and marathon Jean Michel Olive dropped to the third place after collecting too many penalty points in the cones.
