<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard Vogel<\/strong>\u00a0and the phenomenon\u00a0United Touch S<\/strong>. A pair almost deified in May after their victory in the Rolex Grand Prix. The European champions will be chasing the title both as a team and individually. Hard to hide that one. And anything short of a podium will feel like a disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9 Thieme<\/strong>\u00a0comes with the tireless\u00a0DSP Chakaria<\/strong>. Winner of the League of Nations in Ocala, winner of the Hamburg Grand Prix, second in the Nations Cup at La Baule: perhaps not the first combination that comes to mind, but one that becomes obvious the moment you think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n and Sophie Hinners<\/strong>, partnered with\u00a0Iron Dames Singclair<\/strong>This pair also knows each other inside out and has grown together to reach the level that is now theirs. Long considered the future of German showjumping, the rider is now one of its strongest presents. With\u00a0Iron Dames Singclair<\/strong>, she built her selection through consistency and top-level performances. A deserved reward for a pair climbing in the shadow of Vogel and United Touch S. Second in La Baule with a double clear, the pair had already finished third in the Aachen Grand Prix a few weeks earlier. But they are still chasing their first major win. And what if that victory came in the form of a medal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A blend of experience, composure and horses capable of turning a round into a demonstration\u2026 or tipping a championship on a single rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Otto Becker has not forgotten to cover his bases either.\u00a0Marcus Ehning<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Coolio<\/strong>\u00a0will be the first reserves and will be allowed to contest the opening warm-up class. Olympic champions\u00a0Christian Kukuk<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Checker <\/strong>omplete the list as second reserves. When an Olympic champion is left waiting on the bench, it says plenty about the depth of the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Soers, the atmosphere promises to be electric. The only question now is whether the Mannschaft can turn that advantage into a result. Because a home championship may offer an extra dose of soul, but never a slower clock or lower fences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00c0 domicile, il n’y aura ni effet de surprise, ni droit \u00e0 l’erreur. En d\u00e9voilant sa s\u00e9lection pour les Championnats du monde de saut d’obstacles d’Aix-la-Chapelle (18 au 23 ao\u00fbt), Otto Becker envoie un message limpide : l’Allemagne ne veut pas simplement participer \u00e0 \u00ab ses \u00bb Mondiaux, elle veut les marquer de son empreinte.
