Jurado Lopez and Lorenzo reign supreme at World Cup opener in Odense<\/strong>
\n<\/b>The sensational Spanish partnership of Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez and the 10-year-old gelding Lorenzo were convincing winners of today\u00e2\u0080\u0099s first leg of the FEI World Cup\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 Dressage 2016\/2017 Western European League at Odense in Denmark. Throwing down a score of 82.060 they pinned Sweden\u00e2\u0080\u0099s seven-time Olympian Tinne Vilhelmson Silfven into runner-up spot with Paridon Magi, while another of the strong Swedish contingent, Rose Mathisen, steered Zuidenwind into third.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u0080\u009cLorenzo is coming back after his holidays\u00e2\u0080\u009d, explained the 28-year-old Spaniard who made a huge impact when finishing fifth at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with the horse who only competed \u00a0in his first international Grand Prix last February. \u00a0 \u00e2\u0080\u009cAt the moment he may not be as sharp as he was earlier in the season but he is coming along nicely. He coped very well with the atmosphere and he enjoyed the applause of the crowd!\u00e2\u0080\u009d said the rider who is based in the North of Denmark and works as a trainer at Helgstrand Dressage.<\/p>\n

Favourite<\/strong>
\n<\/b>From the starting field of 15 horse-and-rider combinations he was always favourite to win after topping yesterday\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Grand Prix in which Mathisen was runner-up, and once again today, as Lorenzo made his \u00a0World Cup debut, he turned on the showmanship that set the spectators alight. \u00e2\u0080\u009cI think a freestyle somehow should reflect the personality of the rider, and I very much like guitar music so Santana was an easy choice for me\u00e2\u0080\u009d he said, talking of his musical score.<\/p>\n

He took the lead with just four left to go, and Mathisen slotted in behind him when \u00a0she followed him into the ring to post \u00a076.705 with her 12-year-old stallion. \u00e2\u0080\u009cThis was not only Zuidenwind\u00e2\u0080\u0099s first World Cup but also his first international indoor Grand Prix so I am very happy with him\u00e2\u0080\u009d said the 57-year-old rider who originated from Norway but now competes under the Swedish flag.<\/p>\n

Overtaken<\/strong>
\n<\/b>However she was immediately overtaken for runner-up spot by 49-year-old Vilhelmson Silfven who was delighted when posting a mark of 79.555 with Paridon Magi. \u00a0\u00e2\u0080\u009cHe was really super and got his best score ever today. I was a tiny bit behind the music but caught up\u00e2\u0080\u009d she said.<\/p>\n

Jurado Lopez said he will continue to chase down qualifying points \u00e2\u0080\u009cbecause we are hoping to get to the Final\u00e2\u0080\u009d. The FEI World Cup\u00e2\u0084\u00a2 Dressage 2016\/2017 Final will take place in Omaha, Nebraska (USA) next March and the second leg of the Western European League qualifying series will take place next week, in Lyon, France.<\/p>\n
