Legends Made in Shanghai: Hall of Fame Moments
Relive the memories of the Longines Global Champions Tour and GCL of Shanghai over the years, from the biggest names in show jumping to the world's most exciting rising stars.
Every season, the Longines Global Champions Tour travels to extraordinary cities around the world - but few stops capture the imagination quite like Shanghai.
A city of energy, innovation and style, Shanghai has been the stage for some of the most iconic moments in modern show jumping history.
As the tour returns once again to the world-class Shanghai Juss International Equestrian Centre, we take a moment to honour the incredible athletes - both human and equine - who have conquered this unforgettable arena.
Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix Glory
From the moment Pieter Devos and Dream of India Greenfield made history with victory in 2014, the Grand Prix of Shanghai has consistently demanded brilliance.
Over the years, names like Harrie Smolders, Gregory Wathelet, and Dani G. Waldman have risen to the occasion, delivering masterclasses in skill, speed and composure when it mattered most.
Each victory in Shanghai has required not just raw talent, but nerves of steel under the intense spotlight of one of the Tour’s most prestigious stages.
Most recently, it was Gilles Thomas and his outstanding mare Luna van het Dennehof who added their names to the Hall of Fame in 2024 - an emotional triumph at the newly built Shanghai Juss International Equestrian Centre, signalling a new chapter of greatness.
GCL Triumphs: Teams That Shone Bright
The drama doesn’t end with the LGCT Grand Prix.
The GCL of Shanghai has created unforgettable team battles over the years, showcasing unity, tactics, and spectacular performances under pressure.
From the heroic charge of the Cascais Charms in 2016 to the strategic dominance of the London Knights in 2018, Shanghai has seen it all.
More recently, the Shanghai Swans - the home favourites - delivered an electric victory in 2024, thrilling fans and cementing their place in GCL history.
Every winning team has left their mark, but the common thread has always been heart, grit, and the pursuit of excellence on one of show jumping’s grandest stages.
