During the first half of the ride, Malin Baryard Johnsson came close to breaking a couple of times, but barely managed.
But during the second half, two mistakes came.
She finished in 86.62, but due to the two errors, she was finally scored for a weak 94.62.
- She has to work her way up, but it's a tough start for Malin, says SVT Sports expert Lotta Björe.
After the ride, the Swedish equestrian star was disappointed.
- It was a boring first round.
A little different compared to what usually happens when we are on the move.
It's clear it doesn't feel good, says Baryard Johnsson.
She explains what happened:
- She feels great when she comes in.
Then she gets a little scared and starts to miss.
She becomes too cautious.
The underlay is a bit absorbent in there and she might feel that it gets a bit heavy.
Baryard Johnson's result does not have to be a danger for the Swedish team, because the worst result is deleted.
But for her individually, it was a difficult start.
The competition is ongoing.
