Olympics: Jumping Team Final
August 2 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Jumping: Team Final
Sweden will look to repeat as Olympic champions in team jumping with strong performances from Tokyo individual silver medalist No. 14 Peder Fredricson and Rolf-Goran Bengtsson alongside Von Eckermann. Following a gold medal in Tokyo, the Swedish team went on to win gold at the 2022 World and 2023 European Championships, making it the overwhelming favorites heading into the Games. Team Sweden is currently fourth in the all-time team jumping Olympic medal standings with 6 medals, but has the second most gold medals of any country with four.
A number of nations will be looking to replace the Swedes at the top of the tournament, including the hosts. Team France — led by No. 5 Julien Epaillard — will be looking to bounce back after a stunning Tokyo Olympics that saw them enter the tournament as gold medal favorites, but get knocked out of contention after Penelope Leprovost suffered a surprise elimination that kept France off the podium. The Swiss team will also be pushing to win its first ever Olympic gold team jumping medal with a strong performance from Pius Schwizer alongside Guerdat and Fuchs.
A veteran Team USA will look to return the country to the top step of the podium after consecutive silver medal finishes in Tokyo and Rio. With a team made up of three Olympic medalists — including Laura Kraut and McLain Ward, both of whom were a part of Team USA’s last team gold in 2008 — the United States will draw on all of its experience to upset the defending champions.
