As you probably all know, the Paris Olympic Games will open on July 26.
What you may not know is that one of your colleagues will be taking part!
ACC air traffic controller Maarten Boon has the immense privilege of being selected as a reservist for the Equestrian Eventing Olympic contest.
We may therefore have the chance to admire him riding his faithful horse Gravin van Cantos in this magnificent event, which takes place from July 27 to 29 in the gardens of the Chateau de Versailles.
Maarten and the other riders won’t be taking part in the opening ceremony on the Seine as their Olympic events start on Saturday morning, but he will be attending the closing ceremony, hopefully with a medal for himself or his team-mates!
The skeyes club already warmly congratulates Maarten on this fabulous achievement and wishes him all the best for the Olympics!
