Gerrit Nieberg is the sensational winner at the CHIO Aachen 2022. The number 106 in the world ranking list asserted himself against the absolute world elite in the jump-off of the Rolex Grand Prix. We spoke with him about this incredible afternoon in front of 40,000 spectators, the decisive tip from a Swiss colleague and the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping.
Question: Winner in the Rolex Grand Prix, has it sunk in yet? Gerrit Nieberg: It is a sensational moment, I still can’t believe it. It is going to take a while to sink in. It is all totally unreal, a dream come true. Question: Did you expect to win here? Question: 40,000 spectators beside themselves – did you notice that? Question: In other words take that tight turn? Question: Your father was a successful show-jumper, but he never managed to win the Rolex Grand Prix… Question: And now you are the contender for the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping… |
