Sweden also conquers Rome: Von Eckermann and Fredricson on the podium in featured class

In Rome, the main number of the day was jumped just now. It was a 1m55 with jump-off. Of the thirty starting combinations only four could jump a clear round. A jump-off with four had to decide the winner. In that jump-off the Swedes continued their good form of the past weeks, they took almost the entire podium. Henrik von Eckermann was allowed to sit on the highest step of the podium. He counted on Glamour Girl (by VDL Zirocco Blue) to jump a clear jump-off in 32.97 seconds. 

He was significantly faster than Peder Fredricson, who came second with H&M Christian K (by Namelus R). The duo left all the fences in the saddle and finished in 35.01 seconds. Denis Lynch and GC Chopin's Bushi (by Contendro II) were third. They also had a clear round and finished in 35.51 seconds. 

Maikel van der Vleuten (Elwikke) and Rodrigo Giesteira Almeida (Carado) completed the top five.
