No Olympic participation for Franziskus.
Currently, the German Olympic team is in trouble. After Simone Blum already announced the withdrawal of her wonder mare Alice, there is more bad news. This time from the dressage.
It has hit Franziskus. The imposing bay stallion, who could also already win the Nürnbergerburgpokal, has injured himself.
Klimke immediately gave the all-clear. It was nothing serious, which would have hit "Franz". Nevertheless, he is currently out of action due to an injury and will not be able to adequately prepare for the Olympics.
But anyone who is now worried about whether Klimke will be able to take part in the Olympics at all can rest easy.
She is also part of the Olympic eventing squad with her horses SAP Hale Bob OLD and SAP Asha P. As the reigning European champion, she has a great chance of traveling to Tokyo.
Franziskus, who is also considered to be cheeky, wild and high-spirited among dressage experts, has been part of the Olympic dressage squad since 2019.
