Sweden's currently leading jumper, Peder Fredricson, has won European Championship gold and won Olympic silver.
At the same time, he still lacks a Swedish Championship gold.
But when top competitions are set on the assembly line, Fredricson can instead prioritize the Swedish Championships.
- No evil that has something good with it.
It is another chance for me to take home "the impossible title", the star told SVT Sport before the championship.
45 crews lined up in Friday's qualifier, the top 20 advance to the final.
Fredricson rode two horses - and was faultless with both.
It went best with Crusader Ice, the crew came second.
With Christian K it was a seventh place.
Which horse gets the chance in the final, Fredricson will decide tomorrow.
- Both feel good.
I will decide tomorrow which horse goes to the final, he says to SVT Sport.
The best in the qualifiers was Jennifer Jonsson at Qlara.
The crew was three tenths faster than Fredricson.
