Anna-Lena Niehues and Regine Mispelkamp become medal collectors in the park of the Palace of Versailles. A table tennis player has secured silver. In the road race, the Germans are lagging behind.
The dressage riders Anna-Lena Niehues and Regine Mispelkamp each won the silver medal in their classes at the Paralympics. In the freestyle, the 40-year-old Niehues received 80.900 points on Quimbaya in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles and came second behind the Dutch rider Demi Haerkens. Mispelkamp also won silver on Highlander Delight’s, and gold went to the Belgian Michele George.
For Mispelkamp, it was the second individual silver medal in Versailles after bronze in the team. “I’m super happy,” she said, raving about her horse: “He’s having so much fun in there and is enjoying it so much, it’s great. A mega horse.” Isabell Nowak came fourth.
Niehues was delighted to win her third medal in her class at the Games in Paris after winning bronze in the individual and team rankings. “It was a great, harmonious and at the same time expressive round from both of them,” said national coach Silke Fütterer-Sommer.
