Michael Jung returning to the Land Rover Kentucky CCI5*-L to win it again wasn’t exactly a surprise—from the moment he entered, competitors and fans alike knew the German would be the one to beat.

In setting a world-record low score for a five-star aboard fischerChipmunk FRH, Jung delivered a master class in how to “do eventing” at the highest level of the sport. Click below to watch, phase by phase, how a horse and rider who are supple and elegant enough to turn in a 20.1 penalty dressage test (that’s 79.87%, translated to dressage scoring) are also fit and forward enough to gallop a hilly, 11 minute, 4 second, five-star cross-country course and finish with 11 seconds to spare. And then, of course, produce just one of six double-clear show jumping rounds the next day to win. Jung was the sole competitor in a field of 45 to finish on their dressage score, and the 11.6-point gap between his score and his nearest competitor was the largest win margin in Kentucky history.
