Global Champions Tour logo

The Global Champions Tour 2015 was the tenth season of the Global Champions Tour , an international tournament series. It is considered one of the most important series in show jumping .

Longines was again the name sponsor and timepiece of the series, which is why it was named Longines Global Champions Tour 2015 . The Global Champions Tour (GCT) is an FEI recognized tournament series. The organizer is Jan Tops , and McCourt Sports Limited, a subsidiary of the US financial company McCourt Global, has held half of the shares in the series since summer 2014.

Course of the tournament series

With the change in ownership of the Global Champions Tour, the tournament series got a stage in the United States for the first time since 2007, which marked the start of the season. Most of the tournaments in which the Global Champions Tour 2015 took place are held in Europe (12 stations). The event ended with a stage on the Arabian Peninsula, and for the second time a Global Champions Tour tournament was held in China.

The special stages of the 2015 season took place between April 4 and November 15, 2015. The number of stages had increased to 15 by one station compared to the previous season. Two new GCT tournaments in Miami Beach and Rome prevented the stage in Lausanne from being canceled. All tournaments were  advertised as CSI 5 *, the highest category in show jumping.

The special stages took place on Saturday afternoons or evenings. They were advertised as a jumping competition with two different rounds and jump-offs , the height of the obstacles was up to 1.60 meters. These exams are endowed with at least € 285,000 each .

The second round of the tests is achieved by the best 18 riders of the first round or all riders with faultless rides, provided that there are more than 18. The jump-off is reached by the participants who were ranked first after the two rounds (usually with no mistakes in both rounds).

media

Eurosport remained the media partner of the Global Champions Tour. It broadcast the second round and the jump-off of the special stages live or with a delay. The special stages and many other tests of GCT tournaments were on the website of the Global Champions Tour via live stream transmitted.

The exams

1st exam: Miami Beach

The 2015 season started with a GCT leg in North America. After a test of the Winter Equestrian Festival was last special test of the Global Champions Tour in 2007 , Miami Beach was chosen as the venue. For the GCT tournament, a provisional riding stadium was built on the beach in Miami Beach at the level of the Setai Hotel. The side of the riding stadium facing the ocean was left open so that beach visitors could also watch the riding competitions.

The traditional “American Invitational” jumping competition, which was held for the 43rd time, was integrated into the tournament. In the previous year this had been carried out at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, in previous years it had taken place in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. In 2015, Scott Brash won the American Invitational on Friday night with Hello Forever.

One day later, on Saturday afternoon (April 4th), the GCT special test was held. The allowed time played no role for the riders in the first round of the test, only one starter pair received a time penalty point in addition to their result. In this round twelve horse-rider pairs remained without faults. Six riders with four penalty points also made it into the second round. In the second lap, four starter pairs again remained clear and made it into the jump-off.

Bassem Hassan Mohammed was the first to start the jump-off. He competed here with Palloubet d'Halong , which he had taken over from his compatriot Ali Al Rumaihi the previous year . With a fast time of 39.74 seconds, he initially took the lead. Roger Yves Bost had little luck, who, as the second starter Nippon d'Elle, rode a turn too improperly and had to jump again, which earned him four penalty points for a refusal and a time penalty. The victory went to the penultimate jump-off participant, Scott Brash won this test with his successful horse Sanctos .

14th exam: Vienna

After a one-year break, the Austrian GCT tournament took place again on Vienna's Rathausplatz . The Vienna Masters tournament was held from September 17th to September 20th, 2015.

Only six horse-rider pairs managed to get no mistakes in the first round of the Vienna GCT test. As a result, in addition to three riders with one time penalty each, almost all participants entered the second round with four penalty points. Due to this initial situation, the starting field for the jump-off remained small, only three starters managed to make the jump-off with another fault-free lap. René Tebbel , who with Forlap was still in the lead after the first lap, received four penalty points in the second lap and slipped to fourteenth place.

In the jump-off, Luciana Diniz was the last rider to enter the course. After Harrie Smolders had no penalty point in 43.19 seconds and Kevin Staut had collected eight penalty points in the jump-off, she had the chance to win. With Winningmood she stayed clear in 42.81 seconds and won the test.

In the first round of the test, five starter pairs had failed to make mistakes. The second round reduced the group of error-free participants to four, who made it into the jump-off.
