SYLVIE HULSEMANN

In 1961 Sylvie Hulsemann became the second
European woman to win the World Overall Title,
earning, in the process, a medal in each of the
three events: a gold medal in tricks, a silver
medal in jumping, and a bronze medal in slalom.

Sylvie competed in only two World Championships,
skipping the chance to defend her title in Vichy
in 1963 and returning to take a silver medal in
tricks in 1965 at Surfers Paradise. She competed
in Europe over a much longer period, and was the
European Women's Overall champion three times
between 1960 and 1975.

I am pleased to announce the induction into the
International Hall of Fame of a woman who almost
single-handedly put Luxembourg on the water
skiing map: Sylvie Hulsemann.
