Excitement is already building for the team jumping series which begins in Abu Dhabi, February 11-15, featuring the top-10 ranked nations.

The Falsterbø and Rotterdam CDIOs have followed the example set by Aachen in February, leaving just three competitions remaining in the series.

There was no change at the top as emotions ran high on the second day of the hotly-contested Jumping Championship in Herning.

Patrik Kittel and Touchdown's freestyle score of 82.025% left Sweden with a final margin of victory of a commanding 32 points.

Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, USA and Uzbekistan will compete.

Excitement is mounting ahead of the 2021 fixture which kicks off at Riesenbeck International in Germany on Sept. 1.

The Swedish Team continued to dominate with three more clear rounds over a course that proved to be the undoing of many nations.

The Swede was the fastest of the six-man jump-off field aboard Catch Me Not S to claim the winner's share of the €148,400 purse.

Sweden edged Germany in a third-round jump-off to win the opening leg of the Longines FEI Nations Cup 2021 Division 1 series in Switzerland.

With assurances that the event will not be cancelled due to EHV-1 and Covid, Brittany and All In will be Sweden-bound at the end of March.
