FIVE time Swedish Olympian Peder Fredricson has secured the number one spot of the Longines World Ranking for the first time in his career, taking the reins from Germany’s Daniel Deusser who took over the position for the third time back in June 2021 and now sits in second position.

Fredricson (49), who shot up the rankings last month from number 17 into second position, one that he has held frequently, is now at the top of this elite list on 3015 points, earning further recognition for his consistent performances this year, which included a team gold and individual silver at the Olympic Games, individual bronze at the FEI European Championships and multiple five-star Grand Prix wins.
