TOKYO (Reuters) -Sweden's Peder Fredricson, Malin Baryard-Johnsson and Henrik von Eckermann won team show jumping Olympic gold after a thrilling jump-off on Saturday which left the U.S. team, including singer Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica, with silver.
Springsteen, alongside 2008 team gold medallists Laura Kraut and McLain Ward, jumped a clear round in the fight for the top spot as did every rider in the jump-off. Sweden won the title on time to ending their gold draught that has lasted since 1924.
