Emotional champion
Newly crowned Individual champion Kukuk said: “This is the most emotional day in my life! This is the highest you can achieve in our sport. I'm one of only a few ones calling myself Olympic champion – Olympic gold medallist – this is something that will last forever!
“We only had three clear rounds so I knew I had a medal, so I felt zero pressure going in the ring for the jump-off. I really enjoyed every single moment when I went in. I told myself, you will try your best like always and whatever happens you will accept it.”
Swiss ace Guerdat said: “We all aim for gold but to have the second one (silver) is also very special! My mare has been spectacular today and of course I’m upset about my jump-off, it wasn’t what I wanted, but I want to focus with pride about our second Olympic medal.”
Asked about winning the second Olympic Team gold medal of his sparkling career, Great Britain’s Scott Brash said: “A gold medal doesn't get old! It was incredible, obviously, to win in London in front of our home crowd, which was one of the best days of my life, but here is right up there. I mean what an unbelievable setting, what a beautiful venue for our sport and facilities for the horses were incredible.”
Speaking after the Team final, USA’s Laura Kraut added: “What's been really nice is there's been no eliminations, no disasters, lots of poles down and time faults and they were very crafty with the time allowed. I felt like I was flying, and I only came in a second-and-a-half under the time, so I think it's just as you would expect – we’re at the Olympics after all.”
