As the world turns its attention toward CHI Geneva 2025, the brilliance and drama of the 2024 edition remain fresh in memory. Geneva once again proved itself as one of the crown jewels of equestrian sport, hosting packed stands, world-class competition, and unforgettable performances across show jumping, driving, and cross-country.
Few names resonated louder than that of Martin Fuchs. The Swiss showjumping sensation delivered a masterclass on home soil, sweeping three of the event’s most prestigious titles. With Commissar Pezi, he claimed the UBS Challenge; aboard Conner Jei, he captured the Trophée de Genève; and with his iconic partner Leone Jei, he triumphed in the Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final. These victories cemented Fuchs not only as the face of Swiss equestrian sport, but also as the dominant figure of CHI Geneva 2024. His performance will be the benchmark as fans eagerly anticipate whether he can defend his titles in 2025.
No Geneva is complete without the Rolex Grand Prix, the showpiece of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. Harrie Smolders and Giulia Martinengo Marquet both delivered standout rounds in the Grand Prix, reminding spectators why this class remains the most coveted prize of the tournament. The Rolex Grand Prix remains the ultimate test, and the question ahead of 2025 is simple: who will rise to claim it this year?
Geneva is unique for more than its jumping. The 2024 edition celebrated equestrian diversity, with Boyd Exell reaffirming his dominance in the FEI Driving World Cup. With precision and power, the Australian maestro thrilled the crowds and proved why he is regarded as one of the sport’s greatest ever drivers. Mélody Johner gave the home crowd another reason to cheer by winning the Indoor Cross-Country with Toubleu de Rueire, highlighting Swiss strength beyond the showjumping ring. Rising star Jules Van Hoydonck made headlines with victory in the Grand Prix Land Rover Discovery, adding fresh energy and excitement to Geneva’s roster of champions.
With the memory of 2024 still vivid, the stage is perfectly set for CHI Geneva 2025. Can Martin Fuchs repeat his triple crown of victories? Will Boyd Exell extend his dynasty in driving? Could a new challenger emerge to capture the Rolex Grand Prix? What’s certain is that CHI Geneva remains one of the most prestigious gatherings in the equestrian calendar, a stage where legends are made and history is written. As the countdown begins, the question isn’t if CHI Geneva 2025 will deliver drama—it’s simply who will rise to the occasion.
