For Henrik von Eckermann, it will be valid for the third time.
No other time has it been an Olympic medal, but he hopes that everything will be right in Tokyo with the horse King Edward.
- King Edward has no experience of such a big competition, but he has done many Grand Prix competitions in a very good way.
He is very even and has all the qualities you need.
As a rider, I just need to make sure that everything works, von Eckermann says to SVT Sport.
- There are small things that make it impossible to go the way.
But at the same time we go there, I think we all, with high goals.
Then there are very small margins, but of course we sigh loudly.
"Better an Olympic gold than a bronze"
Peder Fredricson had some horses that were relevant before the Olympics.
But he waited until the last minute before deciding on the horse All in who has taken silver in Rio with him.
- It is a new Olympics with new conditions and new challenges.
Anything can happen, at the same time I have an Olympic silver, so it is clear that I would rather come home with an Olympic gold than a bronze, if you now have to choose a denomination.
- The Olympics are special, an Olympic medal can really open doors, says Fredricson.
Baryard makes his fifth Olympics
Malin Baryard Johnsson made her Olympic debut in Atlanta in 1996.
The games in Japan will be her fifth, this time she has the horse Indiana with her.
- A lot has happened since then, now I feel that it is an incredible asset that I have been with so many times, says Baryard Johnsson.
- Indiana is a completely incomparable horse, and we are a fantastic team right now, so it feels good.
