Team Jumping: Switzerland 2nd behind new leader Sweden

After the first qualifying competition there were nine teams who were able to fight for the podium in the team jumping. After the first team class there are remaining still six of them. Less than one single fault lies between Sweden (8.21 pts) who took the lead, and Switzerland (11.15 pts), now placed 2nd in the intermediate rankings.

Steve was performing a dreamy round when Bianca jumped higher than usual, touching the Oxer # 13: what a bad luck! The fine Swedish mare jumped very high, but not far enough and the pole fell. "I thought the distance would be very good, and Bianca and I never really have such faults, I cannot really explain it."

The Jurassian now only wants to think about the team: "We are second and our chances are intact." And Andy Kistler adds: "With three such champions, I am already very proud of these achievements."

Tonight, Friday evening, this final, which promises to get very exciting, can be followed on RTS 2 from 20:10.
