Anna-Lena Freese (born January 21, 1994 in Delmenhorst ) is a German athlete who specializes in sprinting .

career path

In 2011 and 2012 Freese was an elite student of Sports Hannover. After successfully completing a sports boarding school , she did a voluntary year at the Lower Saxony Olympic Training Center from September 2015 , in order to then begin an apprenticeship made possible by her sponsor.

Athletic career

As a child, Freese was active in judo for four years and even earned the green belt. But she liked athletics more and looked forward to the national youth games for a whole year . When she was nine, Freese started in her village association. The throwing and jumping disciplines didn't suit her, sprinting was fun. In the student training of LC Hansa Stuhr , she enjoyed basic athletics training.

In 2009, Freese was already in fourth place in the DLV list of 100 meter runners , in the previous year it was in eleventh position. At the age of 16, Freese was able to attend the sports boarding school in Hanover, and a sponsorship package was put together for her through the Initiative Leistungssport Hannover 08 GmbH (ILS 08).

In 2011, she ran a European record with the 4 x 100 meter relay and was U20 European champion .

Freese had to struggle with injuries again and again. That cost her participation in the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, for which she was nominated as the youngest athlete, and the 2014 European Championships in Zurich in 2014. For two years she had to pause again and again.

2015 was Freese's most successful year to date. She achieved new personal bests in the 60 m , 100 m and 200 m . At the U23 European Championships in Tallinn, she was vice European champion over 200 meters and European champion with the relay. At the German Championships in Nuremberg, she won silver over 200 meters and bronze over 100 meters. She had her first appearance in the senior national team at the World Championships in Beijing.

In 2016, Freese had to end the season at the beginning of June due to thigh problems.

If she was tied to bed the year before because of flu, she was able to compete in the German Indoor Championships in 2018 and took 6th place over 60 m.

Freese competes for the FTSV Jahn Brinkum and trains at the Olympic base in Hanover .
