Which way to Canada?
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… |
