Kuerten cracks under pressure

Ireland's Jessica Kuerten cracked under the pressure today at the European Championship Individual Final in Mannheim, Germany.

Following the eight faults aboard Castle Forbes Libertina in the first round, Kuerten while leaving the ring, vented her frustration regarding the doping controversy towards RTÉ Cameras.

The Co Antrim rider later withdrew from the second round, citing stress as her reason.

Kuerten finished 20th overall at the Championships, with victory going to Germany's Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum.
