All three Swedish crews managed the qualifying round at Baji Koen Stadium without the slightest mishap.

It even looked very convincing.

Almost so that Fredricson did not want to say too much about his and All Ins' 85.83 seconds on the track.

- It felt great, I must say.

It is always dangerous to say that it feels like you are in good shape.

It's a new day tomorrow and so on ... but I think he's jumping brilliantly today.

Totally amazing.

"I am super happy"

And continues:

- He is soft and good in the body, he turns through well and uses his technique.

He was concentrated and rideable and we got a very good round.

I'm super happy.

The Olympic silver duo from Rio de Janeiro seem to have found exactly the right thing in the preparations and the same applies to Baryard Johnsson and von Eckermann - even though the latter had to wait for the final announcement.

The ride on King Edward radiated stability, but time was somewhat slow.

Von Eckermann had to wait a while before he could state that he was among the 30 in the final round, where 25 flawless went.

- I can not wish for anything else.

It was perfect from the first to the last hurdle, just the way I wanted it.

The horse was as good as I had hoped, a great feeling.

I felt so calm, says von Eckermann.

Wild Indiana

Baryard Johnsson got to rein Indiana, the headstrong mare who likes to be tricked with her rider.

- She was scared excited about the jump and quite wild out there.

The important thing was to get started well.

We did.

It was a bit hello, but we were flawless and she really did everything to be flawless and that was the main thing.

A wild Indiana is a good Indiana, says Baryard Johnsson.

- I know she's in shape when she's wild, so it's up to me.

It was not completely optimal but she solved it anyway.

She tends to get harder with each round.

Now I had to wake up and then we are both on the hook, she says.

Much tougher final course

Course builder Santiago Varela learns to increase the difficulty level by several notches in the final, which is decided in a basic round of jumping.

- Absolutely.

He has so many good riders and horses here.

He does not want 25 for the jump but ... I do not know, but three to twelve.

I probably thought it would be a little harder today, but it was definitely not easy, says Fredricson.

- It will be very tough.

He will not want many flawless and it will probably be very tough, says Baryard Johnsson.

- Wider, taller and interesting, says von Eckermann.

Several meritorious riders fell in the qualifiers, among them Steve Guerdat, Olympic winner in 2012 and long world number one.

All Americans Kent Farrington, Laura Kraut and Jessica Springsteen have done their part individually.

The final starts at 12.00 Swedish time on Wednesday.
