Nina Stadlinger Rides Olympic Qualifying Score at CDI Stadl Paura

April 13, 2004

At the CDI Stadl Paura in Austria, Austrian Nina Stadlinger has ridden an Olympic qualifying score in the Grand Prix. Aboard her Westfalian gelding Egalité (by Ehrentusch), Stadlinger scored 68.417% which is just above the 68% Olympic limit. Stadlinger, who lives in Salzburg, is the second Austrian rider to qualify as an individual competitor. 18-year old Victoria Max Theurer preceded her. The Austrian Olympic Committee will have a final decision in determining which riders will definitely go as individual competitors.

Austria also qualified a team for the Olympic Games. Riders included on the short list are Renate Voglsang, Peter Gmoser, Andrea John, Isabella Willibald, Evelyn Haim-Swarowski and Fritz Gaulhofer. The Austrian Olympic selection trials will be held in July.
