Missed the Podium – King Edward Refused

All 14 teams made it to the jump-off in the Grand Prix class during the World Cup competition in Spanish La Coruña. This meant that there was only one tactic for world number one Henrik von Eckermann and the horse King Edward.

There is only one way to tackle it – take all the risks that exist, said the Swede in SVT's broadcast.

It looked for a long time as if it would hold all the way. The Swedish team was on its way to a top time, but at the last obstacle, King Edward refused and with four faults, it ended up in 13th place.

The national team colleagues Wilma Hellström, Petronella Andersson, and Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli did not reach the jump-off. The winner was German Philipp Weishaupt.

A Swede who reached the podium over the weekend was dressage star Patrik Kittel. On Friday, Kittel and Touchdown came third in the five-star grand prix class in Salzburg with 73,435 percent. During Sunday's freestyle, it was a notch better – then Kittel and Touchdown finished second with 81,625 percent.
