The CDI4* tournament at the Schafhof in Kronberg near Frankfurt was not only the last zests for the Olympic Games for the German dressage riders. The Russian national coach Alexandra Korelowa had also invited four candidates from the longlist for Tokyo to Kronberg for a final test.

When initial restrictions and emergency brakes were discussed in the third wave oft he Corona, Tatiana received confirmation of participation in the May Market Tournament 2021 in Mannheim. While tournaments were cancelled in series elsewhere, the organizers at the Neckar river stuck to their plan, although with the spread of the herpes virus among the international top horses a second contagion danger had to be mastered.

In April 2020, Tatiana and Diavolessa played their last tournament. It was the Iduna Cup in Dortmund. The Grand Prix was still taking place, but the scheduled Grand Prix Special was cancelled. Since then, Dia has been trained in the home stable and trained tob e in a good mood. How will the mare show up in the arena after this almost year-long forced break? This question should be answered in Doha.
