Career

Martin Fuchs grew up in a riding family. His parents, the former show jumpers Thomas Fuchs and Renata Fuchs , run a show and trading stable. His uncle is the former show jumper Markus Fuchs .

Martin Fuchs received his first own pony at the age of seven. In order to enable Fuchs to have carefree access to riding, the pony was not housed in the local stable, but in the neighboring village.

In 2006 he won the individual silver medal with Vasco IV at the European Championships for the Children age group (riders from 12 to 14 years on large horses) in Istanbul . Together with the Swiss mare Karin II CH , which he took over in 2006, he celebrated various successes in the juniors. Both won bronze medals at the European Junior Championships in 2007 and 2008, and Martin Fuchs also won silver at the Swiss Junior Championships in Basel in 2007 .

At the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore he was part of the European team ( Nicola Philippaerts , Wojciech Dahlke, Valentina Isoardi, Carian Scudamore), which won the gold medal here.

In 2011 and 2012 he won the Swiss Young Rider Championships in Schaffhausen . At the 2011 European Young Rider Championships in Comporta , he won the silver medal for young riders both individually and with the Swiss team.

For the first time in 2011, Fuchs was a member of a Swiss elite team. In the Nations Cup of Bratislava he took first place with the team; In the Nations Cup in Lisbon in 2011 he made no mistakes and, together with Marc Oertly, was the best rider of the Swiss team, which came in second here.

At the end of the 2011 outdoor season, Martin Fuchs got the opportunity to compete at the CSIO 5 * in Calgary . Here he reached third place with the Swiss team on Principal , in the Grand Prix (the third highest endowed jumping competition in the world in 2011) he reached third place with Principal .

At the European Championships for Young Riders in 2012 he was individual European champion with Principal , with the team he again achieved second place. In November 2012, he also won the Grand Prix of the CSI 5 * tournament in the Wiener Stadthalle with Principal .

In July 2012 Martin Fuchs and Principal were a member of the Swiss Nations Cup team in Falsterbo . In the years that followed, Fuchs competed regularly in Nations Cups. In July 2013 he graduated from the young rider's age with the individual silver medal and the team gold medal at the European Championships in this age group. When he took part in the elite Swiss championships for the first time, he became Swiss champions with Clooney in 2014 . In the 2014/2015 indoor season he took part in a World Cup final for the first time , where he finished eleventh with Future . In 2015 he took part in an elite championship for the first time. At the European Championships in Aachen , he and Clooney were part of the Swiss team, which won the team bronze here.

In the traditional and highly endowed Grand Prix of Aachen 2016 , Martin Fuchs and Clooney had serious chances of winning. In the second lap the gelding refused and pushed past the jump, so that the two fell back to 16th place. Despite this incident, Martin Fuchs was able to convince throughout the season, he was selected for the 2016 Summer Olympics with Clooney . Here he was the best Swiss with Clooney ninth in the individual ranking, the Swiss team came in sixth. A month later, Fuchs became Swiss champion again.

At the 2017 World Cup finals in Omaha, for which Fuchs was able to qualify as a successor from the Western European League, he came fourth with Clooney . A week later he won the Global Champions Tour jumping in Mexico with the 10-year-old stallion Chaplin . Further successes for Fuchs and Clooney followed, so that both were by far the most successful couple in international show jumping in 2017.

The year 2018 started for Martin Fuchs with victories in the Grand Prix of Basel and in the Grand Prix of the last CSI Zurich , both with Clooney . At the 2018 World Equestrian Games , he and Clooney were part of the Swiss squad, which just missed a medal in the team competition. In the individual, Fuchs made only one jumping fault over five rounds, he won the silver medal and thus his greatest individual success to date.

Also at the 2019 World Cup final , Fuchs narrowly missed victory with Clooney and finished second behind his training partner Steve Guerdat. At the European Championships in Rotterdam six months later, Martin Fuchs finally managed to win his first major individual title: With Clooney , he only made an obstacle error in the time spinning, with only 4.46 penalty points over five rounds he became individual European champion.

In September 2019, Martin Fuchs reached second place in the world rankings. Located directly behind Steve Guerdat, it was the first time ever that Switzerland had a double lead in the world jumping list. At the beginning of 2020, Fuchs then swapped positions with Guerdat and was first in the world rankings for the first time.
