The individual winner of the 5* Grand Prix was the Swedish Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven riding Don Aurelio.

Chef d’equipe Sjef Janssen is still puzzling for his Olympic team as the scores for the Dutch in this competition were very close. On top the winner of the Grand Prix 3*, who performed for the same judges at the same place earlier yesterday, Patrick van der Meer scored with Uzzo 75.043%. “I wish I had more competitions like this to make up my mind,” says Janssen.

Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfven enjoyed her ride today: “I performed my test with a big smile on my face. Don Aurelio was really easy to ride.”
