Carinthia's first summer Olympic gold - Lara Vadlau has made history at the Games in France! The 470 sailor was welcomed in Velden on Thursday. She spoke to the "Krone" in advance about her particularly lonely moment in Marseille, what's next on her to-do list - and what she thinks about Taylor Swift. 

A truly historic premiere! All the stops were pulled out to honor Carinthia's first gold medal winner at the Summer Olympics. The Yacht Club Velden hosted a grand reception at the Schmalzl boathouse in Velden, accompanied by music from Matakustix.
