On the other hand Germany’s Ludger Beerbaum made mistakes in the second round to place third riding Gotha FRH.

Gucci Grand Prix is the event that takes place every year at different indoor show jumping venues. Lamaze also said that if one wants to participate in such events the horse needs to have done some of the bigger 1.60m grand prix events, but as he was riding Coriana which has only done 1.50m speed events before and not the ones like Rolex Top 10 Final. Though, Coriana was successful in jumping at the event comfortably.

Former Arsenal star footballer Lauren Etame Mayer was elated when he got back his Rolex Daytona worth £6000. He lost his Rolex Daytona six years ago when it was stolen away in a burglary. The Cameroonian defender was quite sure that he would not be able to see his prized possession once again. In a raid conducted earlier this year, the Metropolitan Police Officers searched addresses in Bethnal Green and Essex and found more than 400 stolen items worth £500,000 in east London.

Arsenal star footballer and Cameroonian defender Lauren Etame Mayer’s Rolex Daytona was one of the recovered items. The 34 year old Cameroonian footballer was elated to find his lost watch after six years. Lauren Etame Mayer played for Arsenal from 2000 to 2007. The Metropolitan Police revealed that the watches were most probably stolen during armed robberies on jewelers, household burglaries and thefts all across south-east England from 1994 to 2010.

In the items recovered by the Metropolitan Police, they found jewellery, silverware and antiques. Air rifles and a decommissioned pump-action 308 Remington rifle were also found among the recovered items. Most of the wrist and pocket watches found in the raid were not less than a collector’s prize. The Met Police say that majority of the watches were produced in limited numbers and would be identifiable by their owners. The Police very quickly realized that one of the watches recovered was a very expensive Rolex Daytona which belonged to the Cameroonian defender and Arsenal star Lauren Etame Mayer. The Police at once caught hold of the Arsenal Football Club officials as soon as they discovered the watch and asked for their help to reach the Cameroonian defender. Deputy Sergeant Richard George of the Tower Hamlets Crime Squad said that his team was really delighted to find Lauren Etame Mayer’s watch and reunite him with his prized possession. The Met Police came to the conclusion after discovering how this watch was stolen in March 2005. A 73-year-old man was arrested for handling stolen goods on July 6. He has been bailed to return to an east London police station in December pending further inquiries.

During the 1997–98 seasons, Thomas N’Kono discovered of Lauren Etame Mayer’s ability to do miracles on the football ground. He was invited to join the squad that played in the 1998 World Cup. Lauren Etame Mayer was successful and rose up to the challenge. He earned his first full international cap for Cameroon in May 1998 against Luxembourg. Unfortunately, his debut in the tournament as a substitute was scarred by one of the fastest sending offs in the history of the World Cup, when in his first challenge for the ball he was shown a red card, thus ending his World Cup campaign.
