At 17 years old she was the 1981 junior European champion, but she needed a few more years before she was able to compete with the already strong discus team of East Germany. She stood in the shadows of Martina Hellmann (who she only beat at the 1986 European championship). For a long time she trained with Gabriele Reinsch the world record holder since July 1988 when she threw 76.80 meters. At the end of the 2004 season she is the only woman in the world who has thrown further then 70 meters at 24 international tournaments. She represented ASK Vorwärts Potsdam and trained with Lothar Hillebrand. During her active career she was 1.84 meters tall and weighed 92 kilograms. She studied sports science, and at the time of German reunification she became a self-employed physiotherapist. Later she became active on the senior sports circuit and became the 2002 European champion. RESULTS
Personal best: 74.08 on June 20 1987 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (East German record until July 9 , 1988 ) |
