It would have taken a very good day for the blue-and-yellow team to secure a ticket to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It would have taken something even better to be in contention for the World Championship medals.

The result was neither.

Petronella Andersson was eliminated, von Eckermann had two faults, Wilma McMahon had 16 faults and Peder Fredricson was not selected.

Sweden finished 10th, which was not enough to secure an Olympic ticket.

The next chance to qualify is at the 2027 European Show Jumping Championships, where the top three teams will clinch an Olympic spot, apart from those who have already qualified via the World Championships.

Germany won World Cup gold, while Belgium took silver and Great Britain bronze.
