Taylor Land celebrates her show jumping gold medal at the Taylor Land Wins Gold Medal in Show Jumping at the 2009 Australian Youth Olympic Festival In its fifth year, the Australian Youth Olympic Festival showcases the world’s best in Youth Sports. With more than 1,500 athletes from 25 countries, the U.S. was represented in Equestrian by four promising show jumping riders from across the country. Taylor Land, 16 (Atlanta, GA), Mavis Spencer, 17 (Santa Monica, CA), Jennifer Waxman, 17 (Chagrin Falls, OH) and Kylie Wright, 16, (Sparks-Glencoe, MD) represented the U.S. for the first time. All four athletes were very impressed with the venue and the atmosphere when they arrived in Sydney. Taylor Land took an individual gold medal amid the stiff international competition. The team placed a close fourth in the Nations Cup competition behind New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain. The riders competed on borrowed horses which were drawn randomly and had limited time to get to know their new horses. “I couldn’t have won this with out the support of my team and chef d’equipe Dick Carvin, and coach Francie Steinwedell-Carvin,” said Taylor. “This was an amazing experience and this medal is for the whole team.” For more information on the games visit www.ayof09.olympics.com.au.
