Liselott Linsenhoff

Competing in the mixed dressage on the famous Swedish stallion Piaff, she won a gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics with the West German team, and an individual gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics, becoming the first woman gold medalist in this event.

Liselott was the daughter of Albert Schindling, the owner of the racing stable Asta.

She lived in Taunus and was one of the most prominent German dressage riders, along with Josef Neckermann.

In 1975, her family moved to Switzerland, which resulted in a conflict with the German tax authorities, and retirement of Linsenhoff from sport shortly before the 1976 Olympics.
