This afternoon is were the Swiss that swiped away the field in Falsterbo's Nation Cup by beating home country Sweden by a margin of one pole. Meanwhile the Dutch team secured their Nations Cup final spot by finishing in third together with Brasil and Great Britain. It was a head to head race after the first round in Falsterbo today with both Brasil, Switzerland and Zweden on zero penalties. But the though second round constantly changed the leader board having the crowd at the tips of their seats for the whole competition. At the end of the 'race' it was the Swiss that were able to pull the competition their way with three double clears by Janika Sprunge (Bonne Chance), Paul Estermann (Pollendr) and Werner Muff (Castlefield Eclipse). The Swedes ran out of luck when both Mailn Bayard-Johnsson (H&M Cue Channa 42) and Henrick van Eckermann dropped a pole making them finish in second place behind Switserland. Brasil got in even bigger trouble when top rider Rodrigo Pessoa and Citizenguard Cadjanine Z had two poled down, then topping it with Marlin Modolo Zanotelli having to retire his Cash del Mar Z. Which dropped the Brazilians back to the third spot on 8 penalty points together with Great Britain who racked up 8 penalties in the first round but staying clear of the wood second time around the course and the Dutch team who produced 4 penalties each round.
