Kim Raisner

Coaching Since retirement in 2005, Raisner has coached her national women's modern pentathlon team and worked as a physiotherapist. She was head coach to 2008 Summer Olympics champion Lena Schöneborn.

Raisner was disqualified from the 2020 Summer Olympics after punching a horse which refused to jump for German rider Annika Schleu. She also instructed Schleu herself to hit the horse, allegedly using the words "really hit it". The sport's governing body stated that it 'had reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy. Raisner was later required to attend a coach education seminar that included a module on animal welfare and humane treatment.

After the incident, Raisner indicated that her response was proportional and that the outrage was overblown as whips and spurs were allowed saying, "Gerte und Sporen sind Hilfsmittel, die in der Reiterei erlaubt sind" ("Whip and spurs are aids that are permitted in horse riding"). The reaction to Schleu and Raisner's conduct at the Tokyo Olympics later figured in the UIPM's decision to remove horse riding from the discipline of modern pentathlon.
