Sweden has named its eventing team for the Tokyo Olympics.

• Louise Romeike and Cato.
• Ludwig Svennerstål and Balham Mist
• Therese Viklund on Viscera
• Sara Algotsson Ostholt and Chicuelo are the reserve pair.

“It feels great with these names, but it has been very difficult to choose three team riders from the four,” said Chef d’Equipe Fredrik Bergendorff. “They are all very strong riders and have made super nice results. The three horses in the team have a little more experience than Sara’s horse. On the other hand, Sara has experience herself.”

Svennerstål competed at the 2012 London Olympics as the youngest eventer of the Games. Tokyo will be his third Olympics. For both Romeike and Viklund, however, it with be their first. Algotsson Ostholt has been to three Olympics and took silver individually in London.

“Having Sara and her knowledge and experience feels not only great for me, but also for the other riders,” Bergendorff said. “It is very valuable and a great advantage to have her on site in Tokyo. If we also need to replace her in the team, it will be good as well. She is very close to the others in terms of results.”
