Before Germany was united, she lived in East Germany.

It was more a hobby then a serious sport. One day she went into the fitness-centre and had her first training day, after that she knew, that's the right thing for her. she was always inspired of muscular women bodies and so she decided to work as hard as possible to get like them.
