Travelling reserves and ‘fifth men’ have the hardest jobs at the Olympics, and you won’t convince me otherwise — and 23-year-old Calvin Böckmann spent time in each role for Germany in Paris, first as the fifth and then stepping into the TR role when Julia Krajewski was subbed in for Sandra Auffarth. And so, in the aftermath of those weeks of waiting in the wings, working tirelessly to ensure a perfect performance that may or may not even happen, it’s amazing to see him take the win in the ferociously competitive CCI4*-S at Arville, where he bested approximately eight gazillion entrants to ride to victory with his Paris mount, The Phantom of the Opera. We’ll be bringing you lots more with this brilliant rising star soon — not least because we hear he has something rather exciting planned for the autumn season! Here’s to brilliant results and just rewards for all our unsung Olympians.
