No London for Albert Voorn

The Olympic dream is shattered.
Jumper Albert Voorn is not selected for the Rotterdam and Aachen's CHIO. "And with that, it is impossible to go for the Olympics," said a disappointed Voorn.

"I asked coach Rob Ehrens if I might go to Aachen when staying errorfree in all courses at Rotterdam and staying with the 5 best in the Grand Prix. The answer was no, you do not jump in Aachen. After my performance in De Steeg, I was 100 percent sure that I would ride in Rotterdam. But the coach decides. Very unfortunate. "
