Career
Liebs lives in Gerbrunn . She started for SV Würzburg 05 . Her specialty disciplines were the freestyle and back courses , especially the 200 m.
She has been the German record holder for the 200 m freestyle course on the 50 m track since 2007: At the German Winter Championships in November 2006 in Hanover , Liebs missed Franziska van Almsick's world record in the 200 m freestyle by just nine hundredths of a second . Five months later, at the 2007 World Swimming Championships , she improved van Almsick's time by almost a second in the finals when she won silver, which meant a new German record .
