2026 Aachen Diaries: Sunday - Champions Crowned & A Week to Remember

It's done. The medals have been decided and Aachen has its World Champions. Michael Jung and fischerChipmunk FRH delivered when the pressure was at its highest, jumping clear in front of an enormous home crowd to seal an unforgettable individual title. And alongside that German fairytale came British gold, as Team GB handled the weight of expectation to leave Aachen on top of the world. Nicole catches up with Pete Cattell in the stables as the celebrations are still unfolding, reflecting on Ireland's fourth-place finish, the hugely important Olympic qualification secured for LA and a brilliant first World Championships for MGH Zabaione. Then we leave the final word to the World Champions themselves, with Dickie Waygood on the team behind Britain's gold and Michael Jung on the heart-stopping moments of the round that made him World Champion.
