Reining Olympic and European champion Anky van Grunsven is never defeated before she has ridden her last stride or step.
It was a full house at riding arena ‘Den Goubergh’ in Roosendaal to see the finals of the Dutch winter championships. The tango-freestyle fits Krack C very well. So with pirouettes of amazing quality and her renowned timing all three judges De Wolff van Westerrode, Mouw and Vellenga agreed on the win of Anky van Grunsven. After two tests Van Grunsven also won the national championship.
In his Freestyle Hexagon Ollright ridden by Laurens van Lieren was a little bit tensed and lost some points in his two tempi changes and the walk. Last year Van Lieren did win the Dutch indoor title, now he was the runner up.
