Four years of waiting and three medals: how Russian riders performed in Minsk

Russian athletes successfully performed at international competitions in equestrian triathlon in Minsk, winning gold, silver and bronze. The tournament became special: for the first time in four years, adult riders went to the start under the national flag of Russia and with the national anthem.

The main award of the competition in the CCI3*-S program was won by Marina Irbitskaya, who performed on a horse named Cassio. The athlete managed to get ahead of rivals and climb to the highest step of the pedestal.

Two more medals added to the piggy bank of the Russian team. Vitaly Sivakov, along with Lady Persimon, became a silver medalist in the CCI4*-S category, and Ilya Pakhomov at Cassidy 65 took third place in the CCI3*-L program.
