While riding RMF Zecilie, she successfully defeated the German rider Daniel Deusser. Winning only by a margin of 1/100th of a second during the jump-off, she secured the first position. Furthermore, in a stadium packed with an audience, Jessica felt grateful. After her performance, she said, “I am very happy to win the Stephex Masters here for the first time. It’s a fantastic feeling with the audience.”
Her father also had a few words of appreciation for her. He said, “I want to congratulate the United States Olympic show jumping team — that’s McLain Ward, Laura Kraut and my lovely daughter, Jessica Springsteen — on their silver medal win at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.” Apparently, this was the very first time her father congratulated her for the first time in public. He added more by offering gratitude to Jessica’s coach, Nick Skelton, saying, “A special shout-out to my great friend and one of the kings of show jumping, Nick Skelton, for his guidance and inspiration. May all of your days forever be glorious.”
