Great American Grand Prix: Thieme exits on jump
On Sunday, the man from Blau am See competed in the Grand Prix of the United States, the final of Ocala – a competition Thiem has won three times in recent years. In the tournament, which was awarded with around €280,000 in prize money, things initially went well for the North German, who threw his punches at 11-year-old Candide. The two were among five pairs who made it through the first round and made it to the jump.
In the final, the early finish came: after a mistake on the fourth jump, the contestant finished the run, but finished fifth in one of the privileged places. And Tim struck a positive balance: “They were two very successful holidays for me.” Before he returns to Germany, he will compete in a five-star tournament in Wellington, north of Miami, next weekend.
