It was during Sunday's World Cup show jumping that it became clear that Sweden's eventing team has qualified for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. This after finishing seventh in the team competition, where the seven best teams qualified for the Olympics. But since World Cup bronze medallist the USA, as the host nation, is already qualified, Sweden made it to the Olympics by a good margin, ahead of the Netherlands in ninth place.
Frida Andersén and Box Leo, who rode last, had a tough day. They knocked down four fences and received 16 penalty points, which meant that Sweden lost sixth place.
But despite the tough finish, Sweden's combined points were enough for an Olympic berth.
That was terrible, Andersén tells SVT.
Sweden's World Cup team consisted of Frida Andersén, Louise Romeike, Amanda Staam and Sofia Sjöborg.
Correction: In a previous version there was incorrect information about how many teams qualified for the Olympics.
