Old and new Hungarian Champions in Izsák

This weekend, Izsák hosted the Hungarian Championships for singles, pairs and four-in-hands. After it was announced that the FEI World Para Driving Championships, which were supposed to take place in Izsák, were cancelled due to lack of entries, a CPEAI2* was organised instead for this class.

Katalin Nyúl became Hungarian Champion for the third consecutive time in the single class. After winning dressage, she stayed in her position until the end of the event and won gold. Gábor Rondzik finished second ahead of Mária Meskóné Orosz on the third place.

János Papp won his first ever Hungarian Champion title in Izsák. The pair driver from the Stud Farm in Mezőhegyes was the best in dressage and performed well in the marathon and cones as well with his Nonius horses and won gold. Zoltán Sipos climbed up to the silver medal position from the 19th place in dressage, after winning both the marathon and cones competitions. József Simon jr finished third.
