Facts & Figures:

First World Gold for Stückelberger

Reigning 1976 Olympic and double European champions Christine Stückelberger (SUI) and Granat secured their first World title, 19 points ahead of Uwe Schulten-Baumer (FRG) on Slibovitz in silver and the unexpected home heroine Jennie Loriston-Clarke (GBR) on Dutch Courage, who took the bronze.

The Teams

The two remaining German team members – Harry Boldt on Woyceck and Gabriela Grillo on Ultimo – who had placed second and fourth respectively in the Grand Prix, dropped to fifth and 10th in the ride-off. Nevertheless, this setback did not prevent them from securing the team title, ahead of Switzerland in silver.

The Soviet Union beat narrowly the all-female team from the United States, composed of Hilda Gurney/Keen, Dorothy Mokis/Monaco and Edith Master/Dahlwitz for bronze.
