Biography

[edit]

Born in Darmstadt, Germany, Kramer first competed in the German Women's Trials Championship in 2002, winning the title that year and successfully defending in for the next six years. She competed in the FIM European Championships in 1999,[3] becoming the first Women's European Champion after finishing ahead of Norwegian rider Linda Meyer. In 2000, she again took the championship ahead of Spanish superstar Laia Sanz.

Kramer was runner up to Sanz in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 and finished her final season in international competition third in 2009. In the FIM Trial World Championship Kramer finished 2nd in 2000 through 2006 before taking the title in 2007.
