Paris 2024 Olympic Games Photo Gallery: Grand Prix Freestyle

Germany takes individual gold and silver at the Grand Prix Freestyle during the final day of dressage competition at the Paris Games.

Germany’s defending champions Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and her incredible mare TSF Dalera BB, secured the individual gold for the second time in a row earlier today at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Their Grand Prix Freestyle score of 90.093% was the only one in the field of 18 to break the 90-percent barrier. “Today I woke up and thought, OK, it’s all about trust. We are enough. I have to trust myself and I have to trust Dalera,” von Bredow-Werndl said. “It was about letting go, to surrender”

Germany’s Isabell Werth took silver aboard her new mare Wendy after posting a score of 89.614%. And bronze went to Great Britain’s Charlotte (“Lottie”) Fry and stallion Glamourdale with a score of 88.971%.
