Amadeus Cup 2019: Thomas Berger defend title, Tereza Kralova

Austrian Thomas Berger and Sheltie Noobsi win the Amadeus Cup for the second time in a row. Tereza Kralova and Say are back with a victory after a missed final qualification last year. Another Austrian victory brought Barbara Bozek and Cevin in the medium tournament home. All winners can look forward to gold prizes.

The somewhat different Agility tournament in Austria’s largest horse fair, the Amadeus Horse Indoors, attracts Agility greats from all over Europe to Salzburg every year. For the anniversary edition this year were especially many well-known names among the starters. One of them, which competed also in the previous year, is Tereza Kralova and Say. The two failed in the previous year, a bit surprising in qualifying for the final. Today, however, the team remained unbeaten. The runner-up Iwona Golab and app could not change that. The young Swiss Lukas Risi with Rumble was this year once again on the podium on the third place. Last year, he only had to be beaten once by Anne Lenz.

To win the Amadeus Cup is a big achievement. Especially by the rather unpredictable American mode. But winning the tournament two times in a row is world class. As greater was the joy on the face from Thomas Berger and Noobsi after crossing the finish line ahead of the Slovenian rival Ana Geohelli with Ita. In the small final, Monika Saling from Czech Republic secures third place with A Little Start from.
