At the Olympics in London Anky van Grunsven entered the ring aboard Salinero for the last time. They scored 82% for their last games together. When she finished her test, she was absolutely beaming, and I’m sure she would have been thrilled no matter what the score was. It’s a testament to Salinero’s mental and physical capabilities that he competed on the Olympic stage until the age of 18!
“I have had a wonderful time with Salinero. It was the best goodbye I could wish for. The trip back home went well. Sjaak, Adelinde’s boyfriend drove the truck and we did not have to wait for the ferry. At home I just rode him a little bit and then he went info the field. There are no ‘musts’ anymore for him, he should just enjoy life now.” said Anky.
