Ron Schmidt

In June 2016 she suffered from a foot injury. (t3-duesseldorf.de, 26 Jun 2016)

She switched from swimming to triathlon in 2012. (laura-lindemann.de, 12 Jul 2016)

Her swimming coach suggested she take up triathlon. "As a child, I took part in a few running competitions, but I stopped because I was afraid of the starting signal. They shot with a pistol, I didn't like that. There were a few relay races at school, but I never trained for them. I started swimming at the age of six and was then a breaststroke swimmer until 2012. I had not been able to fulfil the required performance level for swimming in the ninth grade, so the coach said I should switch sports or give up sport altogether. Sport has always been the focus of my life, so I switched to triathlon, even though I had never done it before. At first, as a breaststroke swimmer who needed one to two minutes for competitions, I thought that races over an hour or two would be very boring. But I quickly realised how much I enjoyed it."

She trains in Potsdam, Germany. (berliner-zeitung.de, 05 Sep 2020)

In 2015 she was named the German Junior Athlete of the Year. (presseportal.de, 21 Nov 2015)
