Henrik von Eckermann was the big favorite according to the press.
Two golds in the WC in Herning and not a single miss together with the horse King Edward.
Afterwards, tributes poured in for the 41-year-old, including from long-time teammate Rolf-Göran Bengtsson.
- It is so good that there are no words for it.
We were unsure if we would do four or five between the bars, he says and continues:
How is it coping with the press?
- It's a favorite pressure, but at this level they can handle it.
They know exactly where the horse is and have been preparing for months.
It is so well deserved.
The national team captain is at a loss for words
Confederation captain Henrik Ankarcrona talks about the target image von Eckermann set for the championship.
- He went here and said he would take home two golds and to do so, at a world championship with one of the strongest starting fields in a long time... the horse is, if not top three of all time, then at least at the top .
I have no more words, what a week, he says and continues:
For Sweden, it ends with two medals in jumping in this championship.
Is it possible to take in how good you are?
- For me, it is not possible to take it in.
