After less than two months, she won team gold and two individual gold medals at the European Championships in her native country of Germany in Hagen. for more information about the J. Von Bredow-Werndl Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. continue reading below.

J. Von Bredow-Werndl has been a mainstay of the German national team for a long time, formerly riding the Gribaldi stallion Unee BB, so the Olympics in Tokyo were not her first championships. And having dominated the European show circuit in early 2021, she and Dalera arrived in Japan as favourites for the gold, if they could find a way to beat the invincible Isabell Werth and Bella Rose.
It was a nail-biter of a showdown in the Tokyo finals, with Jessica setting an impossible goal of 91.73% before her closest challenger, Isabell, entered the stadium.
With just two riders left to go, Jessica saw Isabell’s score of 89.6% flash up on the screen and realised she was still holding the top spot. “I remember the feeling when I realised that I could be individual Olympic champion, even though it wasn’t sure yet, and that feeling was so emotional,” she said.
