CHIO Aachen
The Super Bowl: Holland-Germany in Sydney
With
at least two Olympic judges presiding at the CHIO Aachen,
a thorough prognostication has been given of what the
Olympics have in store. The Dutch Dressage Championships
caused much disturbance as Anky van Grunsven scored
monster scores between 86 and 84%. But the fact that
three judges were of Dutch nationality at these championships
have to be taken into account. The final duel between
Holland and Germany will take place in Sydney and never
before is causing this event so much suspense and speculation.
We'll see what happens. Will Bonfire, the supreme god
in freestyle, persevere or will Gigolo, the ultimate
classically trained dressage horse, win his second,
consecutive Olympic gold medal. Everything will be determined
in September 2000.
