Marcelo Chirico (URU) was first in to jump off for the gold and silver medals and once again his skilful riding and harmonious partnership with Links Hot Gossip, produced a smooth clear round.The winners were elated with their success and the great slaps of joy given to their horses and huge grins showed how important it was to them to become Youth Olympic Games medalists. Gold medalist, Marcelo Chirico (URU) commented, ““I was so happy to win today! I never imagined
I would be a Youth Olympic Games Champion! Now I am hoping one day I can be an Olympic champion, maybe in London or Rio? My horse jumped very well today. He was careful and wanted to help me. He was excellent! I would really like to say thanks to my family and my coach and everybody who has supported me here at the Youth Olympic Games.”
