Switzerland wins the Nations Cup at the CHIO in Aachen for the first time since 2002. The team around Olympic champion Steve Guerdat triumphs after two rounds ahead of Great Britain and Belgium.
Both Guerdat with Venard de Cerisy and Martin Fuchs with Commissar Pezi of the Swiss quartet remained clear twice. Edouard Schmitz and Quno ensured the result in the first round, Nicklaus Schurtenberger and C-Steffra in the second round.
With only four penalty points, the Swiss decided the 3.5-hour competition worth a million euros in front of 40,000 spectators for a possible jump-off. Great Britain and Belgium both offered another discard.
Nervous fox
Fuchs was the last Swiss to keep his spirits up with victory in sight, overcame all 1.60 m high obstacles with the only ten-year-old hopeful commissioner Pezi and followed in the footsteps of his uncle Markus. With Tinka’s Boy he was part of the last victorious Swiss team in 2002 at the Nations Cup in Aachen, which was first held in 1929.
However, the most important Nations Cup of the year for Michel Sorg’s Swiss team will be at the European Championships in Milan in September. Then she still has to buy the ticket for the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. (SDA)
