Today, the absolute highlights of the CHIO Aachen, the Rolex Grand Prix and the Lindt-Prize are on the agenda. Who will succeed in having their names engraved on the legendary winners’ board?

What a finale: At 1.05 p.m. the first participants will ride into the ring of the famous Rolex Grand Prix. It is going to be exciting! Because only the best riders of the CHIO Aachen 2024 qualify for this magnificent event. And they will be giving it their best shot. Why? Because this jumping class is not only one of the most demanding competitions in the world, it is also endowed with 1.5 million Euros in prize-money. The Rolex Grand Prix is at the same time part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, which unites four of the best shows in the world via a spectacular bonus system: The CHIO Aachen, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’, the CHI Geneva and The Dutch Masters. The rider, who wins three shows back-to-back, receives one million Euros  in addition to the prize-money. Scott Brash (GBR) is the only show-jumper, who has pulled off this feat so far. After his victory at The Dutch Masters, the Dutch rider, Willem Greve, is travelling to the Aachen Soers as the current contender. Will he also triumph on the Holy Grass in the legendary Main Stadium? However, the two Swiss top stars, Martin Fuchs and Steve Guerdat, also want a say in the matter, alongside the number one in the world rankings, Henrik von Eckermann (SWE), the Olympic gold medallist, Ben Maher (GBR), and last year’s winner, Marcus Ehning (GER).

Furthermore, it is not only going be possible to experience world-class sport in the Main Stadium, but also a few metres away as the crow flies in the Deutsche Bank Stadium, which is where from 8.30 a.m. onwards the decision in the Lindt-Prize will fall. On board once again: Aachen’s record holder, Isabell Werth (GER), whose name is already inscribed an incredible 14-times on the winners’ board. However, before securing a further engraving on that so coveted plaque, the most successful rider of all time is up against tough competition, also from her own nation, including both Frederic Wandres and Ingrid Klimke. Dinja van Liere from the Netherlands and the World Cup winner, Patrik Kittel from Sweden are also among the favourites to win.
