So close, but yet so far away. The national team riders Henrik von Eckermann and Wilma Hellström each got a fault and missed the chance to ride for victory in the World Championship in Basel. It was our first World Championship. I think she jumped really, really well, says von Eckermann about the debutant Azaria Dinero.
SportsA sudden refusal and the evening was ruined for Henrik von Eckermann and King Edward. The world number one rode for victory as the last rider – but landed in seventh place in the Top 10 final in Geneva. I was a bit late. Didn't get a turn and it went wrong, he says. The Swiss Martin Fuchs won.
SportsThe national team rider Evelina Tovek is ending her elite career for a civilian career. "I have had seven incredible years abroad and in international top sports. The time feels right now to take the next step in life and start working within the family business that my dad has built up", she says.
SportsGladly a new success at home. But most important of all is that King Edward continues to demonstrate his fine form with a little over a month to the Olympics. And that nothing unpleasant happens. You never know with horses, says Henrik von Eckermann.
