In the Sept. 22 vaulting finale at the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Equestrian Games (WEG) Tryon 2018, Team Germany, their individual female star Kristina Boe, and Lambert Leclezio from France all took gold under supreme pressure in the Christie’s International Real Estate arena.

Boe now holds the European, World Cup, and World Championship titles. Her achievements have been aided by her longer Winnie Schlüter and horse Don de la Mar. Posting an unbeatable combined score of 8.388, she managed to halt the challenge launched by compatriot Janika Derks.

“As a result of the new Nations Team Championships it is the first time that it is possible to win two medals for an individual,” Boe said. “To come away from Tryon with two gold medals makes me speechless and more than grateful.”

“Last night Winnie and I sat together and said all that we hope for this last freestyle, is to do one round in utter harmony, where I can enjoy my performance,” she continued. “I love my music, my whole program, and I didn’t even care what would come in the end. I just wanted to have that one goose-bump round
