Comments on: Anky Van Grunsven Claims Individual Gold in Dressage https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2008-08-19-anky-claims-gold/ Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:07:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Gesa https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2008-08-19-anky-claims-gold/#comment-67249 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:14:05 +0000 /horse-news/2008/08/19/anky-claims-gold.aspx#comment-67249 Hmmm – the last sentences struck me as a bit premature. The US can’t (yet) match the depth of the field and the breeding that both Germany and the Netherlands have at their disposal. Also, what about the Swiss? Perhaps we’re being a bit too US-centered…? However, the team gold in jumping is a good counter-strike!

The author didn’t point out that the head judge (German) put Steffan 9th while the rest of the judges had him 4 or 5 places higher. Apparently the dressage judges have been taking lessons from the ice dancing judges.
