“I probably won’t really understand it until I wake up on a Saturday morning,” Jens continues.
In WC City Herning, it is already Saturday. It was 2:30 a.m. and 55-year-old Jens Fredrickson was standing with a gold medal around his neck inside the WC district.
People pass by hugging and greeting him, and it’s hard for Jens to stop smiling.
Father (Ingvar Frederickson) called and was very happy. Jens Fredricson, who celebrated the gold with his little brother Peder, who was also part of the team, says he’s been involved in horses and riding all his life, and has been a manager at Flyinge, so it means a lot to him.
Friday night Herning’s WC team final was supposed to be a four-act drama, but after three seasons the tension was over.
Sweden was the best from start to finish, and when third Swedish jockey Jens Frederiksson crossed the finish line with his Markan Cosmopolitan after a flawless ride, no one was able to overtake Sweden.
Sweden was the world champion in team jumping for the first time in history.
When Jens Fredrickson rode as the team’s third jockey, the 55-year-old knew he could become a gold champion.
However, he wasn’t particularly nervous.
When Henrik scored a zero and Malin had four fouls while the others stopped, I knew either I or Peder would take it, says Big Brother Fredrickson.
And while Jens Fredricson kept his cool, the journey to historic Swedish gold was exciting and nerve-wracking for everyone who followed the gold rush from the sidelines.
Swedish first The course contestant in the team final on Friday night was world number one Henrik von Eckermann who was the 10th and last in the first set.
In the final, the starting order was reversed, and since Sweden was in the lead before the decision, the Swedish team had to start last in each group.
The toughest rivals France, Sweden, who trailed by less than two errors in the semi-final, and Germany, who trailed by more than eight errors, started the final with four and eight errors respectively.
When Henrik von Eckermann crossed the finish line, cheers erupted. Along with King Edward, the world number one once again responded with a fantastic effort.
The team was faultless, and Sweden remained in the lead.
But since in WC you can calculate the worst result, nothing was decided in any way.
at the end In the Tour, France’s Gregory Cotard got off to a rough start when he and horse Bibichi broke the first hurdle.
In the difficult three-way set at the end of the course there was another demolition and the team had eight fouls.
German Jana Wargers responded with a very strong run where she and Williambridge were flawless in overcoming obstacles. However, the team did not meet the time limit and received a time-over error.
Sweden’s second rider Malin Baryard Johnson got off to a rough start in the water cycle when Indiana wasn’t feeling well and broke two hurdles at jump time.
But in the team’s final, the mare jumped very well, but luck wasn’t on Baryard Johnson’s side during Herning’s days. The team broke an obstacle, receiving four fouls.
– I’m very happy with it, says Baryard Johnson
– She really threw her heart out and did everything today.
Despite the demolition, Sweden was still ahead before the third round.
for Germany The third round was a nightmare. Andre Thieme fell at the start of the course after his horse Chakaria made a strange jump over the obstacle.
With that, the crew was left out.
For France, he rode Julien Ebailard in round three, who with his horse Caracol de la Roque leads the singles standings.
In the team final, he continued to do well until the final three-set as the team broke two hurdles.
With both tough rounds in France and Germany, older brother Fredrikson and his horse Marcan Cosmopolit were able to secure Swedish WC gold already in the third round.
The team was even able to knock down two barriers, but why play with small margins.
Jens Fredricson and Cosmopolit were flawless and historic Swedish WC gold was secured. In the stands, the Swedes stood and shouted their joy, and Jens Fredrickson looked very happy.
– I have a fantastically cool horse. Jens Fredricson says he’s in great shape, and he jumps with such ease.
despite Peder Fredrickson was able to enter the course as a modern world champion, but his tour was still very important.
Along with All In, he was third after two rounds, and the team final was also a singles playoff.
Until the final, little brother Fredrikson and Olen were the best team in Sweden, but in the final it was not for them. Very unexpectedly, they removed three barriers.
At the singles level, they thus got stuck in the hit list, losing the singles final.
But the gold medal in the team gave consolation at night.
Even if little brother Fredrikson is out of competition for a singles final, he is still a Swede at the top.
Henrik von Eckermann leads Jens Fredrickson.
The singles final will be decided on Sunday.
I want a medal on Sunday, too, says Jens Frederickson.
The Netherlands took the silver and bronze medals for Great Britain, after knocking France and Germany off the podium.
Sweden’s margin of victory was large in the end. Sweden has 7.69 fouls, Netherlands second with 19.31 fouls.
