The top six teams at the World Cup in Germany are set for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

Maria von Essen and the horse Invoice made some costly mistakes during the grand prix ride, and the team had to settle for 72.080 per cent.

On Tuesday, Therese Nilshagen/Navarro were credited with 72.391 per cent and Rebecca Mauléon/Johnnie Walker received 68.711.

The worst of the teams' four results is counted in the overall standings, and with Nilshagen's and von Essen's results, Sweden is fourth, but is only just over three points ahead of Denmark in the bronze-medal race.

Star Patrik Kittel on Touchdown is the last of the Swedes to enter the arena this afternoon.

Top seven before the final (the teams' two best results): 1) Germany, 155.187, 2) Great Britain 151.134, 3) Denmark 147.050, 4) Sweden 144.456, 5) Netherlands 143.664, 6) Belgium 142.159, 7) Portugal 141.600.
