International Helsinki Grand Trophy 160 cm offered yet another thriller between the world\u2019s top riders and in the jump-off, it was down to 13 horse-and-rider combinations to battle for the podium places. Martin Fuchs on L&L Upgrade proved unbeatable in the deciding round, topping the leaderboard with over half a second margin to Brazilian Yuri Mansur with Vitiki. Helsinki double winner from 2022, Sweden\u2019s Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli on Deesse de Coquerie, was the last to take on the jump-off track and just narrowly missed the second place.<\/p>\n

The Swiss is happy to be back in Helsinki and loves riding in front of the Finnish crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe jump-off suited me well; my horse L&L Upgrade is extremely fast, careful and handy, and in the indoor events which have a lot of turns, you need that. He helped me out in the first round twice when I didn\u2019t ride as good as I wanted. But I believe in the jump-off we had a really good round together, he\u2019s a fantastic horse. He just jumped his first five-star Grand Prix in Oslo last week so now coming to Helsinki and having his first win is pretty amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the shows like this, Fuchs is always in it to win it.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsually when I\u2019m in the jump-off, I always really try to go for the first place, I never play it safe. I rather have a fault than be fourth at the end. I like to take risks, I like to go fast and try to go for the win. Sometimes it works out as today, sometimes it doesn\u2019t. That\u2019s what the sport is about; we always come back, we try, and then we go home and we try to improve things. Then we go to our next show and do our best again.\u201d<\/p>\n
