The Brits win another important championship, the German gives a masterclass with Chipmunk, and Canada's Jessica Phoenix and Lacey place 30th.

Only six combinations beat the optimum time over an intense World Championship track that saw 19 of 87 starters fail to complete.

Germany’s Michael Jung and 'Chipmunk' won the 5*-L, while Canada's Jessica Phoenix and Freedom GS charged from 14th to 3rd in the 4*-S.

The German historically does well in this phase, but he broke his own record with an 18.6 pp at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.

As the World Eventing Championships dressage wrapped up in Pratoni, the German rider snagged the individual lead ahead of cross-country day.

The German's score of 20.1pp with fischerChipmunk FRH is the lowest ever for a 5*; two Canadians finish top-10 in the CCI4*-S at LRK3DE.

Michael Jung of Germany maintains a commanding lead in the CCI5*-L while Canadians have strong performances in both divisions.
