Star Equestrian Duo Fredricson and Cosmo Make Triumphant Return

Almost a year ago, Jens Fredricson had to abandon his bid for the Paris Olympic Games after his star horse Markan Cosmopolit suffered an injury. Now the duo is back on the competition track.

World Championship next year, I think that's what Jens and "Cosmo" are aiming for, that's a big goal for me, says Jens Fredricson to Radiosporten.

The pair took part and won team gold in both the World Championship 2022 and the European Championship 2023. The duo also jumped in the individual final in both championships, but the bid for the Paris Olympic Games was interrupted after "Cosmo" suffered a muscle strain last spring.

A long break is never wrong for a pair. We are both super motivated, says Fredricson.

The comeback took place last weekend in Italy, where the duo finished eleventh in a time jumping competition over 1.30-meter obstacles.

He played with the obstacles. It's a joy to ride such a horse, says Fredricson, who states that the European Championship in La Coruna in July comes too early in his plan for the horse.

The World Championship 2026 will be held in Aachen, Germany.
