Anky van Grunsven Recovering Well and Ready to Go
May 8, 2003
Dutch
Grand Prix rider Anky van Grunsven is recovering well
from the multiple bone fracture in her leg she sustained
after being bucked off Gestion Joker on January 17,
2003. Van Grunsven walked with crutches for almost five
months and had to undergone heavy fysiotheraphy on a
home trainer.
Doctors have now determined that Van Grunsven's leg
has recovered sufficiently so that she can walk with
one crutch and start supporting the leg more. Anky has
planned to do her first riding again on Gestion Bonfire
in a few weeks as she trusts "Bonnie" 100%.
Sjef Janssen said that "it will take some time
for her to get back into her old routine, but we're
fortunate that she can start training again."
