Klimke Secures Grand Prix Special Win on Vayron at CHIO Aachen

Her 74.128% score on Vayron positions her as Germany’s leading candidate for the European Championships.

Glücklich auf dem Viereck: Klimke und Vayron
Klimke gewinnt den Special mit Vayron

Overview

  • Klimke topped the four-star Grand Prix Special with 74.128%, eclipsing Finland’s Henri Ruoste (73.872%) and Olympic champion Isabell Werth (72.085%).
  • Withdrawals from five-star classes, including national champion Sönke Rothenberger, have shifted focus to the four-star small tour as the decisive selection stage.
  • CHIO Aachen serves as Germany’s final dressage evaluation before the European Championships in Crozet, with Bundestrainerin Monica Theodorescu set to name her squad after the event.
  • Klimke’s rapid ascent with the young Hanoverian Vayron, a partnership formed late last year, has delivered top-level results at one of the sport’s premier festivals.
  • Despite expectations around Werth, Frederic Wandres and Katharina Hemmer, Klimke’s Grand Prix Special victory has positioned her as a leading contender for a team berth.
