TOKYO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Germany, with dressage world number one Isabell Werth and rising eventing star Julia Krajewski, once again showed they lead the pack by claiming gold in three of the six competitions, while Britain and Sweden also delivered stellar rides in Tokyo. Germany"s hopes of winning a gold medal in each of the three disciplines in Tokyo were dashed on Saturday, however, when Killer Queen, the mare of world show jumping number one Daniel Deusser, shied at a fence in the team jumping final. Sweden narrowly beat the United States in the breathtaking jump-off that followed to claim their first team jumping gold medal since 1924, making up for the disappointment of the individual event where three Swedes were in the top five but were beaten to gold by Britain"s Ben Maher. The daughter of Britain"s Queen Elizabeth, Anne, competed in the sport at the 1976 Montreal Olympics but it was the daughter of music royalty on show in Tokyo. Jessica Springsteen, the daughter of rock music legend Bruce Springsteen, won a silver medal for the United States.
