Ed Corrigan has written an article for The New York Times. The article with the title "West German team is ranked no. 1 in horse show jumping" was published in the edition of 14.01.1973. The article dealt with the annualy world ranking list of show jumpers created by Max E. Ammann.

West Germany dominated the international show jumping world as no team has done before.

The West Germans not only were rated No. 1 by a wide margin in the team standings, but five of their riders were placed among the top 10 individuals. The annual unofficial ranking of world show jumping is compiled annually by Max Ammann, a 34‐year‐old Swiss newspaper editor. His rankings are regarded as the most authoritative in the world by most of the leading equestrian magazines and newspapers in North America and Europe..

Max E. Ammann worked in New York (USA) as correspondent for Swiss, German and Austrian newspapers from 1964-1973. He was responsible for general themes as well as for politics, culture and sport.
