The fourth leg of the 2009/2010 Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series held at Verona, Italy made for a striking comeback by Michael Whitaker. After his suspension in June, it seemed like the British showjumper was on a mission. Even though the course created by Conrad Holmfeld and built by Frank Rothenberger proved to be extremely challenging with six retirements in the first round, it could not hold back Michael Whitaker. The 49 year old was the second in line at the five-horse jump-off and dominated the results with Insul Tech Amai. The runner-up position was slotted by Gilbert Bockmann from Germany while Kevin Staut from France finished third. Michael Whitaker cherished his win as it earned him his first-ever Rolex timepiece. He stated the course to be tricky and was all praise for his nine year old Belgian-bred Insul Tech Amai who has been with him for the past three years.Michael Whitaker successfully put all the controversies surrounding him behind and entered the Italian fixture in top form and was all set to prove a point to himself, his fans and the fans of jumping. On the 5th of November he came second with Portofino and on the 8th of November he decided to change the horse and compete with Insul Tech Amai as the latter horse had longer legs than Portofino. Competing in the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series was an ideal opportunity for Michael Whitaker to jump back and rid himself of the controversy. Rolex supported sporting events have proved to be challenging grounds for all sportspersons. However, competing in these events is a matter of honour and prestige for sportspersons the world over. All Rolex supported competitions are egalitarian and provide a world-class platformfor all sportspersons. Rolex has pursued its aim of promoting human brilliance while sponsoring sports competitions and events. Its sole aim is to recognize and introduce the best sports talent to the world. Rolex also rewards its winners appropriately for their performance with Rolex timepieces that symbolize precision. Michael Whitaker stopped the clock at precisely 37.49 seconds. The precise timing can be relied upon as only a Rolex clock is used to time the events at the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Series. When only five riders were left to compete, Gilbert Bockmann and his stallion No Father's Girl were first up. They set a clear target of 38.14 seconds with a brilliant performance on the course. However, Michael Whitaker who has been performing fantastically since his return with a fourth-place finish at the World Cup in Syracuse stormed the track with Insul Tech Amai and took the lead. The Italian crowd eagerly awaited for the turn of their very own Natale Chiaudani. Natale Chiaudani is a European team silver medallist and his mare won the Grand Prix at Donaueschingen in September. However, the excited crowd soon gasped as the mare hit the vertical three from home and later both the elements of the penultimate double and collected 12 faults. Eric Van der Vleuten of Holland who is number two according to the overall standings, collected eight faults.
