Michael Schumacher's daughter Gina wins gold at horse riding event

17-year-old Gina claimed gold at the FEI European Reining Championships in Switzerland, beating 46 riders from nine different countries to claim individual victory in the Juniors and Young Riders category.

Gina also picked up a second gold as a key member of the Germany squad that won the team event.

"My horse was great for me once again, and I am thrilled with this second gold medal!" she said afterwards.

"I cannot thank my team members and coach enough, my trainer Shawna Larcombe and of course my mum and family who are my greatest supporters."

The event was actually hosted by the Schumachers at their CS Ranch, with Corinna Schumacher making a rare public appearance and receiving a warm welcome from the crowd.

Seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher spent six months in a coma following a skiing accident at the end of 2013, and left hospital just over a year ago.

Since then, the long process of his recovery has continued at home, and there has been no official update on his condition since manager Sabine Kehm said in May that, "He is making progress [but] people must always keep the seriousness of his injuries in mind."

It's not just Schumacher's daughter who is now shining in her own sporting career: son Mick recently started racing in Formula 4, and earned the distinction of 'best rookie' in his first race.

However, last month his fortunes took a turn for the worse when he broke his hand in a crash.
