“I think it will blend in later”

He was not part of the Olympic gold-winning Swedish team in Tokyo.

Then Peder Fredricson, Malin Baryard Johnsson and Henrik von Eckermann took a historic Swedish Olympic gold.

Jens Fredricson instead had to cheer for the Olympic heroes, but he himself was not close to a place in a championship team. But Markan Cosmopolit’s fine development, third place in the World Cup final in Leipzig and a strong spring and summer earned him the WC place in Herning,

Now he is world champion.

In Friday’s team final, Frenchman Julien Epaillard bid for a Swedish gold when he got eight faults.

What Jens Fredricson needed to do was not account for more than one impact.

— It was great. But I didn’t think much of it. I just thought I would do my round, he says in SVT.

He was flawless and a historic Swedish WC gold in team jumping was secured.

— It was almost: “has it happened?” I think it will sink in later, he says.

Additionally, he is second in the individual event with a 2.71 foul. Henrik von Eckermann leads with 0.58.

— Now we’re going to celebrate this properly. Then we’re going to get an individual gold on Sunday. He shouldn’t be so sure that Henrik, says Fredricson.
