  • Corinna Schumacher recalls Michael predicting when Gina was 10 that she would surpass her in the saddle because elite athletes need single‑minded focus.

  • Now a top western rider, Gina won two world titles in 2025, with victories at the family’s equestrian facility in Givrins near Nyon in Switzerland.
