Peder Fredricson and All In went out last by the Swedish riders. They did just as usual - did not tear a boom and the boat was the fastest of all. Now he goes on with zero errors and leads the championship after the first day - just the opening he had in the European Championships in Gothenburg when the team took gold.
- I am very, very pleased with today's efforts. That's right at the beginning of the championship. We'll get up tomorrow and do some ground work. So it's a new day tomorrow.
But despite the leadership, and Fredricson being one of the biggest favorites, he fades down his favorite team.
- I may not feel like a huge favorite. I sit on a good horse but there are many rounds to hope for.
Sweden League Captain Henrik Ankarcrona:
- Very nice for everyone, especially for Peder. He likes to be in that situation. I saw the riders as they entered the awards ceremony and saw that those who are after him don't like having to chase Peder all week. Now he has it in his own hand.
One of the competitors, the Dutchman Marc Houtzager, was impressed with Peder Fredrickson's round.
- It was an incredible round. All In jumps like a machine. The horse is very fast, he tells SVT Sport.
