The FEI World Jumping Challenge Final 2015 in Zhitnica, Bulgaria is underway. The Final is open to Category A riders from 10 FEI regional zones and this year attracted 22 riders from 17 countries. And the flags of Bermuda, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, India, Iran, Libya, Morocco, Namibia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Syria, Swaziland, Uruguay and Venezuela were all flown with pride over the four days of competition.
Following the official Opening Ceremony that saw all 22 competitors taking part in the athletes parade, and it was a very special occasion as the Organizing Committee put together a programme that included traditional music and a video montage for each competing nation. Afterwards the athletes released air balloons to mark the beginning of the event.
In the First Round Bermuda’s Krista Rabain was eliminate from advancing into the Final Round after a fall, however in the Farewell competition for the athletes that didn’t make the cut to the Final, Rabain had a particularly satisfying result when finishing third with Rubine.
