Martin Fuchs wins the top 10 final, worth 500,000 francs, at the CHI in Geneva. The Swiss secured victory in this test for the first time.
The top 10 final is the first of two major tests at the CHI in Geneva. The other highlight, the Grand Prix, was won by Martin Fuchs in Geneva in 2019 and 2021.
Fuchs, number 9 in the world rankings, slipped into the exclusive field due to a rejection. At the registration deadline, Fuchs was only 11th in the world rankings; But he replaced the absent Conor Swail.
A total of three riders remained without a drop. However, the competition could no longer match the Swiss’s fantastic time in the second round.
Steve Guerdat, the Swiss main attraction in Geneva, did not saddle his gelding Venard or Dynafix, but he competed with Iashin Sitte. The pair made a mistake in both rounds, so that the 42-year-old Guerdat no longer had a chance of a fourth victory in this test after 2010, 2018 and 2023. Guerdat finished ninth.
