Germany’s Jannis Drewell produced his second successive win of the FEI World Cup™ Vaulting 2015/2016 series at the Christmas Show in Mechelen, Belgium where Switzerland’s Simone Jäiser topped the Female Individual podium and Germany’s Torben Jacobs and Pia Engelberty scooped the Pas-de-Deux honours.

The hugely popular Belgian event presented the fourth of this season’s five qualifying rounds, and Drewell, world no 1 and FEI European Male Vaulting champion, produced another spectacular performance backed up by his horse, Lago Maggiore and lunger Simone Drewell.

Jäiser also enjoyed her second win of the season, having previously topped the line-up at the opening leg in Madrid, Spain in November. And Jacobs and Engelberty secured a clear-cut Pas-de-Deux victory, the pair who took European bronze in 2013, and silver medals at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy (FRA) and again at the FEI European Championships in Aachen, Germany this summer looking as highly competitive as ever when pinning their Swiss rivals into second and third places.
