Verona, Italy – November 07, 2026 – There couldn’t have been a better ending to the second day of the CSI 5*-W at Jumping Verona. The two-round category with 1,55m obstacles presented by Crivelli has been a truly thrilling competition, keeping the large crowd at the Pala Range Rover glued to the stands until the very last jump.

In the arena the absolute protagonist was once again Henrick von Eckermann (SWE) who today climbed onto the top step of the podium for the second time, for the occasion riding Qasirah van Reistenhoek.

Clear, effective and very fast, the Swedish rider gained access to the second round (reserved according to the competition formula only for the best ten pairs) where he showed off his great class: double clear round and a time of 34.81 seconds.

The only other clear double was achieved by Belgian Koen Vereecke (BEL) aboard Merryweather vt Leeuwerikenhof. This pair also showed up well-equipped for the second round, but their time of 36.41 seconds prevented them from finishing higher than second.

**Daniel Deusser** (GER) & **Navarro van het Eelshof**

Third place with one fence down, but with the best overall time (34.47 seconds) was taken by the German Daniel Deusser (BEL) with Navarro van het Eelshof.

Piergiorgio Bucci (ITA) and Hantano, the only Italian pair to qualify for the second round, put in a fantastic performance. A mistake on the second element of the double fence spoilt the party, but it certainly didn’t ruin the performance, which was characterized by the competitive spirit so typical of the rider from L’Aquila. Tomorrow, Sunday, he will be among the protagonists of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™.
