• Britain’s Laura Collett won the individual title on London with 26.1 penalties, ahead of Michael Jung on Chipmunk (28.3) and Tom McEwen on Dublin (33.0).
• Falls for British contenders, including Yasmin Ingham and Piggy March, ended the hosts’ team medal hopes, and reports noted no serious injuries.
• All four German team riders jumped clear across country to secure the nation’s seventh European team crown, as debutant Calvin Böckmann posted the fastest cross-country and finished fourth overall.
• Course designer Mark Phillips set a horse-conscious, technically demanding track that produced many clear jumping rounds but no rider made the optimum time.
