Despite the controversy surrounding Anky VG and her recent absence from top placings, it is hard for me to think of her as a has-been. Her West Side Story freestyle with Bonfire is etched in my memory -- they truly danced. This article and interview talks about Anky's "decline."


Equestrian Van Grunsven: not over the hill just yet

NRC International, by Danielle Pinedo, 29 December 2009 13:37

"Even I have to admit the new riders are refreshing," three time Olympic dressage champion Anky van Grunsven told NRC Handelsblad in an interview about her allegedly fading form.

This year Van Grunsven was mostly in the news for the titles she didn't win. She was part of the the Dutch team that won the gold at the European Championship in Winsor in August, but competing individually, she only earned bronze. In Winsor, like other tournaments, fellow Dutchmen Edward Gal and Adelinde Cornelissen defeated her.
