International shows are finally running again and the first CSI5* Grand Prix after the Covid-19 competition break took place at Hubside Jumping in Grimaud, France. We look back at Sunday's 1.60m Grand Prix and first out is home hero Edward Levy on Rebeca LS, who flew into second place. The pair was in the lead for quite a while, only to be overtaken by the very last rider – Steve Guerdat with Victorio des Frotards.

Malin Henlöv did her last show as Peder Fredricson's show groom in Grimaud. A 10-year-long successful chapter ended with a third place in the Grand Prix. We wish Malin all the best for the future!
Alberto Zorzi and Cinsey were pathfinders in the jump-off. In the end they had to settle for 9th place after getting four faults.
A very happy Titouan Schumacher after producing a clear in the first round with Atome Z. Titouan ended 8th.
The new combination Christian Kukuk and Chianti's Champion did a great international debut with only five penalties in the Grand Prix.
Daniel Deusser, Killer Queen Vdm and Sean Lynch getting ready for the jump-off. After the fastest round – but with one rail down – they had to settle for 7th place.
Penelope Leprevost and Gfe Excalibur de La Tour Vidal took 10th place after recording one time penalty in the first round – only 0,01 seconds over the time allowed.
Niels Bruynseels and Delux Van T & L jumped into a 4th place.
A double clear from Olivier Philippaerts and H&M Extra was good enough for the 6th place.
Kevin Staut and the feisty Viking d'La Rousserie finished 5th.

A happy team Levy!
