In perfect time for weekend viewing, the next episode of the 2016 International TV Highlights have now been released with LGCT Hamburg the next in the series instalment.
Episode five looks at the beautiful city of Hamburg where it was a fairytale ending to a stunning weekend of top sport in Germany, as then four-time Olympic Gold medallist Ludger Beerbaum (GER) took a sensational win with his new horse Casello 2 in front of a sell-out crowd. Fresh from the podium, a delighted Ludger said: "It was a little bit like Leicester winning the Premier League!
"It is very very special to win [in Germany], and if I could have a wish from the 15 legs, it would be to win here. Everyone has experienced today the atmosphere - it’s really something very special, and believe me, I’m more than happy and really enjoying this moment.” It was standing room only for the big €300,000 Grand Prix class with a worldwide TV and online audience watching Ludger beat off heavyweight competition from a stellar international field. With the sport enjoying a boom globally Ludger commented: "If I see the sport from [when I started] to today, it’s unbelievable for myself to have the opportunity to experience this development in the last ten years. I really also have to say thanks to the Global Champions Tour which was a milestone in the development of our sport. I wish I was 10 years younger!”
