Sporting relatives:

Her husband Florian Unruh has also represented Germany in archery. The pair won a silver medal in the recurve mixed team event at the 2017 World Championships in Mexico City, Mexico. (ndr.de, 28 Dec 2020; SportsDeskOnline, 18 Mar 2021; magazin-forum.de, 13 Jul 2018; sportschau.de, 03 Aug 2019; weser-kurier.de, 25 Feb 2020)

In mid-2019 she tore a tendon in her right shoulder. She underwent surgery in November that year and was able to start rehabilitation three weeks later. She returned to international competition in November 2020. (newszilly.com, 31 Mar 2020; Bow International, 23 Jan 2020; dsb.de, 16 Oct 2019)

She took up archery at age 13. (Facebook page, 31 Mar 2020)

"I actually wanted to be an Olympic swimming champion and swam competitively between the ages of five and 13. In fifth grade I joined a sports school, but within a year, I no longer had the prospect of success in swimming. My mum started to investigate which sport would be good for me, and the swimming coaches told her that the archery section was looking for people. I told her she was crazy, as I wanted to do a real sport. But I tried it and stayed, which was the best decision of my life. To be able to practise this sport fills me with pride and joy."

She was flag bearer for Germany at the opening ceremony of the 2019 European Games in Minsk, Belarus. (dsb.de, 19 Jun 2019)

In 2016 and 2018 she was named Athlete of the Year in Berlin, Germany. (berlin-hat-talent.de, 13 Dec 2018; dsb.de, 13 Dec 2018)

In 2016 she was awarded the Silberne Lorbeerblatt [Silver Laurel Leaf] in recognition of her achievements at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (bundespraesident.de, 01 Nov 2016)

Olympic qualifying results
She helped secure a qualification spot for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo as a result of Germany's seventh-place finish in the team recurve competition at the 2019 World Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. (welt.de, 16 Jun 2019)

General
POSITIVE POSTPONEMENT
She says the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo revived her chances of competing after she underwent surgery on her right shoulder in November 2019. "Looking back I don't think I would have been able to compete if the Games had not been delayed. I had a shoulder operation and my performance was not where it could have been. I hope that this will give me more time to develop my old strengths." (dw.com, 02 Aug 2020; rbb24.de, 31 Mar 2020)

ARCHERY RELATIONSHIP
She is married to German archer Florian Unruh. "I think it is a big advantage to have a fellow athlete as a partner, because when I look at how much time we spend away, it is hard to maintain a private life and a partner. I think a partner would have to be very understanding if he or she is not a fellow athlete. I am very happy that my partner can nearly always be with me." (ndr.de, 28 Dec 2020; Zurich Versicherung Deutschland YouTube channel, 28 Jul 2015; weser-kurier.de, 25 Feb 2020)

Milestones

She became the first archer representing Germany to win an individual medal at the Olympic Games, when she claimed silver at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (SportsDeskOnline, 01 Apr 2020)
