Thursday's final jumping competition at CHIO Rotterdam has been won by Sweden's Petronella Andersson and Odina van Klapscheut. German rider Christian Kukuk came in second place, while Laura Kraut (USA) finished third.

In this jumping competition against the clock - so without a jump off - the 55 competitors had only one shot at victory. No less than 23 of them managed to stay at 0 penalties, but they proved no match for Andersson with a staggeringly fast time 66.84 seconds.

Germany's Christian Kukuk and Just Be Gentle were almost as quick, but just fell short of the win with a time of 66.98 seconds. American rider Laura Kraut and Baloutinue set a time of 67.20 seconds, which granted them third place.

Tomorrow's CHIO Rotterdam will feature more jumping action, with two 2*-competitions and the highlight of the day, the Longines League of Nations.
