The Longines League of Nations, one of the most prestigious competitions in the equestrian world, showcased the best teams competing in a format that rewards precision, speed, and endurance. Among the stars of this edition was the Swedish team, which achieved a brilliant third place. This result, apart from its sporting value, holds special significance for us at Animo, the official clothing sponsor of the team.
The Competition: a test of precision and endurance
The competition featured a challenging timed course with imposing obstacles and tight turns, where riders faced penalties for knocking down barriers, refusals, or exceeding the time limit. In these tests, every mistake is costly and can compromise the team’s final position.
Sweden maintained an excellent performance throughout the event, finishing with a total of 8 penalties. A result that earned them a well-deserved third place. The penalties primarily stemmed from a few knocked-down barriers and a slight time overrun by one team member, but the group’s cohesion allowed the team to stay in the top positions of the ranking.
The Swedish Riders: talent and determination
Led by the world number one Henrik von Eckermann, who has amassed 3361 points in the FEI rankings, the Swedish team showcased strong cohesion and incredible competitive spirit. Alongside him, Malin Baryard-Johnsson, Jens Fredricson, and Wilma Hellström delivered top-notch performances, tackling every obstacle with the precision and determination that characterize the best riders.
Despite the accumulated penalties, the Swedish riders remained focused and continued to fight for the podium, demonstrating great tenacity and skill in recovering valuable points in the crucial phases of the competition.
