The Swedish national show jumping team had a better second day at the World Championships in Aachen - and has secured a place in Friday's team final. Reigning world champions Sweden is seventh. It's very open, says Peder Fredricson.
SportsThe Swedish riders started weakly at the World Championship show jumping in Aachen, Germany, but reigning champion Henrik von Eckermann finished with a flawless round. For Peder Fredricson, it was a dramatic ride when his horse lost both shoes.
SportsKing Edward and Henrik von Eckermann are competing together again - for the first time in a year. King Edward is incredible, a phenomenon, von Eckermann says.
SportsHenrik von Eckermann was thoroughly frustrated after the fourth place in the World Cup final. The result is a disappointment, but I'm glad that the horse has grown so much, he says to SVT.
SportsEverything went according to plan and Henrik von Eckermann and Iliana were faultless in the first round of the World Championship final in Basel. But the Swedish team was slower than the top contenders and lies fourth.
SportsThe World Cup final in Basel is decided on Sunday. But tonight's initial time jumping (20.15) is of great importance. Looking historically, it's very many who win the first round who also win the whole thing. It's about being in the game, says Henrik von Eckermann.
SportsKing Edward has jumped finished in the big contexts. Henrik von Eckermann's star horse has been given rest during the indoor season and is not current for the European Championship this summer. He has done his in the championships, says von Eckermann.
SportsSo 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.
