Tough for Fredricson - tricky road to the final

Much suggests that the riding star Henrik von Eckermann will be the only Swedish participant in the World Championship final in Basel in April. Peder Fredricson and the horse Alcapone des Carmille had a setback in the World Cup competition in show jumping in French Bordeaux and had to settle for a 14th place.

The placement gives Fredricson three World Cup points. With 24 points in total, it's a good way up to ensure the Swede finishes top 18 in the Western European league that gets to jump the final.

Only the competition in Gothenburg (19-23 February) remains, and it's not even certain that a win there will be enough. A first place gives 20 points, but Peder Fredricson is currently 29th in the total and has 11 points up to the Irishman Denis Lynch in 18th place.

Erika Lickhammer-van Helmand on the mare Comme Tessa was extremely close to reaching the jump-off in Bordeaux, but the pair knocked down the last obstacle and finished 21st.

The Swiss Martin Fuchs on Conner Jei won the jump-off, where twelve pairs made it.

Henrik von Eckermann is directly qualified for the final in Basel, Switzerland, 2-6 April after winning the World Cup final last year.
