“A very dear old friend has left us, the absolutely fantastic Butterfly Flip.

So many unforgettable memories she gave us all.

And what a journey we made together ", she writes.

"This special lady taught me so much as a rider."

On Butterfly Flip, Baryard Johnsson has experienced some of the absolute highlights of his career.

Together, they took Olympic, World Cup and European Championship silver in teams, came third in the World Cup final in Las Vegas in 2003 and that year was named the world's best crew.

"Rest in peace dear 'Flippan', you will always be in my heart", writes Malin Baryard Johnsson.
