Description
Dorothee Schneider and Sammy Davis Jr performed to tango music arranged in a fun and hip way. The young Bavarian gelding still needs to develop more strength from behind to stay fresh and strong during a long championship week

Description
Anna Zibrandtsen rode her fantastic freestyle for the first time in Gothenburg and finished sixth. Arlando was less cramped in the kur (compared to the GPS) and truly danced rhythmically on the young, fresh music

Description
Madeleine Witte-Vrees had a very strong Cennin in her hands, who constantly leaned on the bit. In passage the hind legs dragged, but the tempi changes and extended trot, walk and canter were fabulous

Severo Jurado Lopez on Deep Impact. The rock drama for the canter work was way too heavy for such an elegant horse. With this ill fitting music Jurado was unable to produce a clap-along performance as he used to do with Lorenzo

Description
Diederik van Silfhout's Four Seasons looked tired in the freestyle. The horse has his peak moment in Rotterdam it seemed. Gothenburg was too much on this gelding's plate. He made his CDI debut at GP level only this year.

Description
Patrik Kittel and Delaunay rode to "Hot in the City" and "Dancing with Myself". The Oldenburg often looked angry in several movements and the canter work lacked collection, but the half passes were lovely

Spencer Wilton's Super Nova simply could not find his groove in Gothenburg. The horse was high strung and too tense to shine to his potential.
