Belgian showjumper Charlotte Tecquin dominated the juniors’ competitions held as part of the eighth showjumping round yesterday at Al Raffa, Sakhir.

The talented competitor won two titles in the juniors’ contests, after posting a time of 37.32 seconds in the first competition and 47.64 seconds in the second. Behind Charlotte in the first event was Enmar Ali, who clocked 38.39 seconds, while Hassan Hani Al Yabes came third in 34.56 seconds (with four faults).

In the second, which featured 110cm fences, Charlotte achieved the maximum points of 44, also followed by Enmar Ali who finished the contest in 48.64 seconds (42 points). In third place came Fares Yahya, whose time was 48.05 seconds.

Shockingly, Sultan Al Rumaihi, who triumphed in each of the previous rounds, came only fourth in the second competition. This was the first time for him to miss a podium finish since the start of the new season.
