Rolf-Göran Bengtsson jumped to victory in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Rome, after three fantastic clear rounds on Casall Ask (Caretino x Lavall II). Next to Rome’s Olympic Stadium and in a unique arena surrounded by classical marble statues, the gladiators of showjumping thrilled thousands of fans who lined the natural amphitheatre to cheer on the world’s top riders. It was standing room only as fans packed the grandstands to catch a glimpse of the top riders in the world. Those who arrived early were treated to a spectacular view of the highly sophisticated purpose-built sand arena, as 50 combinations from 23 different countries took to the course designed by Uliano Vezzani.
