Sweden led the team competition and Henrik von Eckermann was fifth individually after the first day in Herning.

Yesterday he still wasn't completely satisfied, but after a faultless ride today he felt all the better.

- There was nothing to change from the first obstacle to the last.

Perfect.

It was a fantastic feeling in there, he says.

SVT Sports expert Lotta Björe pays tribute to the world number one and the horse King Edward.

- I get shivers, this horse jumps so nicely, she says.

If two more Swedes ride flawlessly today, it looks very good in the team competition and individually von Eckermann will go for the victory.

- The competition is so tough that we cannot afford discounts, he says.

Another 165-jumping will be ridden tomorrow.

The ten best teams and the top 60 riders individually qualify.
