April 10 – the day when everything went wrong as usual: athletes forgot about the routes, losing their chances to win, literally dragged the horses out of the horse carriages to take part in the jumping, triumphantly returned and galloped around the circle of honor.
The most dramatic denouement was at the decisive route of the Final MININ MASTERS II with obstacle height 60 cm, which opened the tournament day. Four competitors entered the battlefield in the status of the favorite – the riders coped with the first routes of the set-off without mistakes. Fedor Tolstykh, Elena Khazova and Vladislava Ahoshina managed to keep the result, the last one became the absolute champion of the series. Arina Kumova, who was the last among the favorites, forgot the route scheme and finished the Mini Grand Prix with 3.75 Hz and was not among the winners.
The winner of MINI MASTERS III was determined on the second day of the final: Anna Topunova was the only one who completed the first routes without penalty points, the lag of her closest pursuers, Yulia Akhmedichina and Maria Chukanova, was 0.25 CZK. Anna managed to get through the final route of the series cleanly and became the absolute champion.
Stephania Lapshina won the rating route of the Bronze Tour (110 cm), Taisiya Tuvykina earned maximum rating points on the rating distance of the Future Tour.
Four athletes made it to the jump-off route of the Silver Tour, and none of them could assume their participation in the shortened route right after the end of the main course. Confused? Explanation. All the athletes earned two failures on the main course, the jumping is carried out in case the riders finish the performance with an equal number of penalty points. Maria Kupriyanova was the only rider who overcame the shortened distance without mistakes.
Sergey Petrov triumphantly returned to the Russian battlefields: the rider took the first and the second places in the Grand Prix with obstacle height of 145 cm and earned 20 rating points. The result will allow the athlete to get closer to the twenty strongest in the Golden Tour and enter the fight for a place in the finals.
