Rishi Persad introduces highlights from the three days of competition at the European Championships in Germany.

Great Britain is the most successful nation in the biennial event and the current squad will again be leading contenders for team and individual gold. Mary King, William Fox-Pitt and Nicola Wilson were all part of the team that won the world title in 2010, with King and Fox-Pitt also medallists at each of the last two Olympics.

This is the final major competition in Europe before the London Olympics and the British team face a stiff challenge as ever from the likes of France, Sweden and Olympic champions Germany, who are enjoying home advantage at this tournament for the first time since 1999. Show less
