Lis Hartel (March 14, 1921 – February 12, 2009) was an Olympic equestrian competitor from Denmark.[1][2]
At the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games, Hartel was one of four women who were the first to compete in modern equestrian sports at the Summer Olympics, also including Ida von Nagel, representing Germany; Elsa Christophersen, from Norway; and Marjorie Haines, from the United States. Hartel became the first female equestrian to win a medal in individual dressage.[3]
