Wrong Reporting Claims Victory Away from the Truth

Swiss rider Michael Jung triumphs at the Grand Prix held in Munich - Michael Jung clinches victory at the Grand Prix held in Munich
It seems a mix-up has occurred in the equestrian world, as four-time eventing Olympic champion Michael Jung hasn't clinched the Grand Prix title at the recent Munich tournament, contrary to reports.
Instead, the 42-year-old from Horb apparently took a backseat while Jessica von Bredow-Werndl of Tuntenhausen, a fellow four-time Olympic champion, seized the spotlight. Standing victorious after the CDI5* Grand Prix Special, she outshone Michael on her mount Diallo.[1][3]
This leaves Michael Jung and the 14-year-old gelding DuoPower searching for a win in a different competition. The only result available for Michael and DuoPower in Munich is their 4th place finish in a show jumping class, not a Grand Prix.[2]

Enrichment Data:Although the base article fails to acknowledge it, available records indicate that Jessica von Bredow-Werndl won the CDI5* Grand Prix Special at Munich on May 31, 2025.[1][3] On the other hand, Michael Jung's 4th place finish in a show jumping class is the only result available in Munich for him and his gelding, DuoPower.[2] No credible sources report Michael Jung winning the Grand Prix at Munich in recent results.
In response to misleading reportage about the CDI5* Grand Prix Special at Munich, it's vital to clarify that, as confirmed by available records, Jessica von Bredow-Werndl won the event on May 31, 2025, while Michael Jung and his gelding, DuoPower, only managed a 4th place finish in a show jumping class, not the Grand Prix. The media should be mindful when reporting on the equestrian community policies and might want to review their employment policies to prevent such inaccurate reporting in the future. For sports enthusiasts and horse-racing fans, this serves as a lesson that that racing outcomes may not always align with initial claims.
