Patrik Kittel with the horse Touchdown came in sixth place when the competition was decided in connection with the European Championship in dressage in French Crozet. It's such nice weather and my horse is in such good form. We went in and had fun and didn't care about anything else, says Patrik Kittel in SVT.

In the Kür, which is another word for the free program, Patrik Kittel made a good ride with his horse Touchdown. Afterwards, he only thought about one mistake:

It flowed very well today. I was a little ahead of the music into the second pirouette where I came out a little early. That's the only thing I'm thinking about. The rest was fantastically fine, says Kittel.

He received 81,139 from the judges, which was enough for a sixth place.

The winner was Justin Verboomen, Belgium, with the horse Zonik Plus. The judges' winning score was 89.964.

The Swede Maria von Essen, with Incoice, came in ninth place with 80.193.
