One highlight is currently following another for Austria's number one in show jumping, Max K\u00fchner: Following strong performances at the top international level \u2013 including second place with his horse Count on Me and the Austrian team in the Nations Cup of St. Gallen, as well as a successful weekend in St. Tropez with victory in the first round of the Global Champions League and third place in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix with EIC Up Too Jacco Blue \u2013 the world-class rider recently made another statement with his victory in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Paris. The focus will now initially be on the World Championships in Aachen before the next sporting highlight, the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace, awaits at the end of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For K\u00fchner, the championship in Aachen is one of the most important dates of the year. The coming weeks will therefore be entirely dedicated to optimal preparation and fine-tuning with his top horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the World Championship is barely over when the next major highlight, the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace, awaits. For the world-class rider competing for Austria, the event against the backdrop of the palace is something very special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eIt's great that Austria once again has an event of this magnitude on the international calendar with the Longines Global Champions Tour. Riding in front of a home crowd and feeling the support of the fans makes the tournament very special,\u201c emphasizes K\u00fchner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, the unique setting of the Ehrenhof courtyard sets the Vienna stage apart within the international series. Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace is one of the tour's most spectacular venues, combining top-tier sport with a historical ambiance that is unparalleled worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the World Championships in Aachen, Max K\u00fchner already has his next goal set: at the end of September, he aims to compete for top places in front of his home crowd in Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
