Biography

Four years later Bartels repeated that feat, this time with Van Grunsven and the couple Gonnelien and Sven Rothenberger. She competed in four Summer Olympics for her native country, starting in 1984. Her daughter Imke competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.

Bartels was heavily injured on 7 November 2006 after she fell off her horse during a training. She fell with her head against a tree and will need a long time to recover. It is unsure whether she can continue her career.

gollark: I think it's probably the second one a lot of the time.
gollark: When big companies try and be funny or ironic or whatever on social media, I always wonder if there's some actual human managing the account who thinks it's funny, or a team of marketing professionals trying to ruthlessly optimize humor value to appeal to social media users.
gollark: Well, to some extent, sure.
gollark: It has its own exciting problems too, though.
gollark: That... doesn't really improve the rest of it.
