Malin Baryard Johnsson gets to continue in her role as reserve and support her teammates.
Ankarcrona has weighed in a lot before deciding not to change the lineup after the team final, where the Swedish riders finished sixth.
In the end, it's my decision. It's my role as leader to make the decisions, but with that said, we have very experienced and skilled riders and staff. It's clearly a question where I gather information from both the physio and veterinarian, and it's a dialogue with the riders that leads to what we believe is best.
And that's where we've landed. It'll be exciting to take on the individual final, says Henrik Ankarcrona.
74 teams are competing, 30 will advance to the final on Tuesday morning. Anything less than three Swedish riders in the medal hunt would be a setback.
Henrik von Eckermann has never hidden the fact that he's in Versailles to win a medal with King Edward.
I'd really like to have that, but first I want to qualify for the final. That'll be tough in itself. The horse feels lively and fresh, and I feel good too, he says.
The disappointment from the team final has been analyzed and is now on the experience account.
I've put that behind me, he says.
The Swedish teams' starting numbers:
-
Henrik von Eckermann/King Edward.
-
Rolf-Göran Bengtsson/Zuccero
-
Peder Fredricson/Catch Me Not
The competition starts at 14.00.
