It became a victory for the Swedish show jumping team in the Nations Cup competition in Falsterbo, after a dramatic jump-off against Germany had to decide. It feels very good. It was really a rollercoaster day, says federation captain Henric Ankarcrona in SVT.
SportsWilma Hellström did not get a place in national team captain Henrik Ankarcrona's OS team. She took the rejection in the best way – and gave a direct response. We're just doing our thing in the best way, Cicci and I. It's not harder than that, says the riding star.
SportsFaultless, fastest and winner again. Henrik von Eckermann's almost perfect ride over the obstacles on King Edward cannot directly reduce the expectations ahead of the OS. He is an exceptional horse, says the world number one.
SportsThe Swedish show jumping team won the gold in Tokyo. A medal to be defended in the Paris Olympics – by the same riders. They know each other inside and out, says federation captain Henrik Ankarcrona.
SportsFalsterbo's international show jumping offers a world-class starting field in two weeks. The world number one Henrik von Eckermann and the reigning European Champion Steve Guerdat are participating.
SportsThe championship debut was made last summer - and contributed directly to the Swedish team's gold medal. Wilma Hellström, 31, got a taste of the good life. But it's one thing to jump in a European Championship, quite another to get a spot in the Olympic team. Whatever happens, happens, 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.
