Lilly SCHOLZ

Lilly Scholz teamed up with Otto Kaiser in pairs, becoming Austrian Champions for the first time in 1924 and repeating the feat from 1927-29. The couple competed in the World Championships from 1925-29 taking a medal each time: bronze in 1925, silvers in 1926-28, and finally the gold in 1929 at Budapest. One of their main competitors was the couple Andrée Joly / Pierre Brunet, who beat them at the 1928 Winter Olympics.

After her wedding, Scholz competed under the name Gaillard pairing with (non-Olympian) Willy Petter in 1931. They were Austrian Champions in 1931 and 1932 and won the bronze medal at the 1931 European Championships, adding silver medals in 1932 and 1933. In their only World Championship appearance, they missed the podium with fourth place in 1931.
