France grabbed silver followed by Belgium standing on the final podium spot with Brazil and the United States finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

The Germans battled the fourteen-fence track designed by Spaniard Santiago Varela, clocking a total time of 246.49sec.

Hans-Dieter Dreher and Elysium continued the momentum before Richard Vogel United Touch S. completed the proceedings.

With Germany, France and Belgium already sealing their Olympic fortunes for next year, it was down to Brazil and USA to make use of the opportunity in Spain.

Devin Ryan riding on Eddie Blue had eight errors and the pairing of McLain Ward and Callas and Karl Cook and Kalinka van’t Zorgvliet with one each led to the Americans finished with nine overall.

This means that the Unted States will have to make necessary adjustments to do better at the next Olympic qualification battle at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.

"It’s 18 years since I last rode for Brazil and this was my first show after nearly a two years break," Diniz said.
