Germany early tied the grip on the gold and never released it. Dressage queen Isabell Werth of Bella Rose secured the gold when she finished for Germany with a ride of 85.652 percent.
Instead, everything was about the UK, in silver spot before the last rider, Sweden in bronze place and Denmark and the Netherlands who chased closely.
The riders delivered strong rides and Kitten had to ride at least 76.88 per cent to secure the bronze and Confederate captain Bo Jenå stated that Kittel had to ride at the best of people. And he did just that - 78,261 and a new personal record in the Grand Prix for the team.
- Now it's nervous. That's among the best she's done. I am very grateful, ”says Patrik Kittel to SVT Sport.
Then the drama began. Charlotte Dujardin rode 81.91 per cent, and the silver looked secure for the UK.
When the Dutchman Edward Gal delivered a ride of 78,758 percent, even the best, Sweden seemed to be on the medal.
Then came the message - Charlotte Dujardin disks. Thus, Sweden has a bronze medal.
All four Swedish team riders are on to the Grand Prix Special which will be ridden on Thursday.
