Henrik von Eckermann went out first. Once again Mary Lou was standing on the water and there was a tramp and four faults.

Malin Baryard-Johnsson finished second and it looked so safe. Then came the demolition - the railing after the water rolled and four errors were added to the result.

- Now the others must be zero, says Malin Baryard-Johnsson to SVT.

But that was not the case for Fredrik Jönsson, even though they started well. Four bars fell and that was not what Sweden needed.

- It wasn't good at all. Yuk. It started pretty well then he ended that line. Suddenly there was no power and energy left. It was a bad day at work, he tells SVT Sport.

Fredricson: "A little sting in the back"

Peder Fredricson was pressed as the last rider but then a boom also fell for Fredricson and All In, who otherwise look unable to tear.

- We are obviously disappointed. It was not in the plan to have a hit today. But that's it, says Fredricson.

- I thought we were right on all distances. He didn't jump high out on b only, so it is. He was a little stingy today. We may try to get him a little rounder tomorrow.

Peder Fredricson's round

Germany also looked to fall but Daniel Deusser finished with a zero and Germany is second at 12.22. Belgium leads on 11.07.

The UK picked up well and climbed in the results list. They are third at 13.41 after Ben Maher, among others, has been flawless. Maher now manages the European Championship individually.

- I was a little nervous but when I sit at the Explosion I get a good feeling. He jumps better the more rounds he goes, says Ben Maher to SVT.

France is four and Sweden five.

- It would have been better if we had been a little higher up but it is a new day tomorrow, we have to reload and do our best, says Peder Fredricson.
