Athletic career

As Antje Möldner, she completed her first competition season at the age of twelve in 1996 at the OSC Potsdam / LG Potsdam LSH (airship port).

In 1999, at the age of fifteen, she won her first national title as German B youth champion (U18) in the 800-meter run . In 2002 Möldner became German A youth champion (U20) in the 1500 meter run .

In 2003 she was able to defend her title in the A-Youth (U20) over this distance and become German Junior Champion (U23) in the older age group .

In 2004 Möldner won two bronze medals over 1500 meters among the active athletes, both at the German Indoor Championships in Dortmund and at the German Championships in Braunschweig and was again German Junior Champion (U23).

In 2005 she won double gold in the active athletes in the 1500 meter distance. Möldner was both German indoor champion and German outdoor champion . Internationally, she came in 6th at the European Indoor Championships in Madrid and won bronze at the U23 European Championships in Erfurt .

In 2006 Möldner won the 1500 and 3000 meter titles at the German Indoor Championships . In the open-air season she was German runner-up over 1500 meters.

In 2007 she only competed in the hall over 3000 meters and became German indoor runner-up on this route . In the open air she won the second title at the German Championships after 2005 over 1500 meters .

In 2008 Möldner won the 1500 and 3000 meter titles at the German Indoor Championships . In the open-air season, she competed in her first 3000-meter obstacle course in Neerpelt, Belgium on May 31, and finished second behind the Ethiopian Sofia Assefa . Möldner improved Melanie Schulz's German record by over four seconds to 9: 34.21 minutes. In July she became German champion in the obstacle course. In the run-up to the Summer Olympics in Beijing , she improved her German record by more than four seconds to 9: 29.86 minutes, but there was not enough time to qualify for the final.

In 2009 Möldner was able to defend the titles as German indoor champion over 1500 meters and German champion over 3000 meters obstacle. On May 17th, she achieved a time of 6: 15.90 min at the international runners' meeting Krummestrecken in Pliezhausen on the rarely run 2000 meter obstacle distance and thus finished seventh in the all-time world best list. On June 1st, she improved her German obstacle course record again to 9: 27.22 minutes and thus fulfilled the qualification standard for the World Championships in Berlin . Three weeks later she won with the team at the European Team Championship in Leiria to which she contributed with a 1st place on the obstacle course. In the run-up to the World Championships, she managed to further increase her record to 9: 21.73 min. Möldner ran even faster two days later in the final, in which she initially came ninth with a national record of 9: 18.54 minutes. This time was only beaten in 2016 by Gesa Felicitas Krause at the Trier New Year's Eve run . In November 2015 Marta Dominguez , who came in first, was subsequently transferred by the International Sports Court (CAS) for doping and subsequently moved to 8th place.

In 2010 she was diagnosed with lymphoma in January , so she had to take a long break and could not start training again until October.

In 2011 Möldner returned to the obstacle course after a few preparatory competitions at the German Championships and finished fourth with 10: 28.74 min. A good three weeks later, she won the title at the German Police Championships over 1500 meters. In autumn she married and started as Möldner-Schmidt.

As of 2012, she no longer took part in the German Indoor Championships and no longer competed in 1500 meter runs. Over the obstacles Möldner-Schmidt was able to become German champion for the third time . At the European Championships in Helsinki , she first took bronze in 9: 36.37 minutes and thus won her first medal at international championships in the adult age group. In May 2015 the runner-up Switlana Schmidt (Ukraine) was convicted of doping and Möldner-Schmidt subsequently received the silver medal. At the Olympic Summer Games in London , she first took seventh place in the final run in a time of 9: 21.78 minutes, ahead of Gesa Felicitas Krause , who was eighth . Since the originally Russian first-placed Julija Saripowa was retroactively revoked the gold medal for doping abuse in 2016, the athletes not only moved up one place, but Möldner-Schmidt was also now the fastest European.

In 2013 she again took part in the European Team Championship in Gateshead and was able to achieve 2nd place behind Russia with the team, to which she contributed on the obstacle course with a 3rd place in personal season best. At the German championships Möldner-Schmidt won her fourth German championship title. At the World Championships in Moscow she was the second best European in the final with eighth place and was again one place ahead of Krause.

In 2014 Möldner-Schmidt came back to 1st place with the team at the European Team Championship in Braunschweig and had reached 2nd place in their competition. Then she won the championship title for the fifth time and the third in a row at the German championships , where they separated from the runner-up Krause 0.07 s. Möldner-Schmidt achieved the greatest success of her career when she won the European Championship in Zurich . In the same year she was voted athlete of the year . In winter she had problems with the Achilles tendon .

In 2015 Möldner-Schmidt could not take part in the competition. After the tendon problem, she trained again with a view to the German championships, but then had to have an over-leg surgically removed from her ankle in the middle of the year and announced her pregnancy a little later.

2016 was marked by the baby break and in 2017 she worked on her comeback with the long-term goal of getting precious metal at the home European championships in Berlin .

In 2018 Möldner-Schmidt again competed in several competitions and became German runner-up , this time behind Krause. She had her last international assignment at the European Championships in Berlin and then suffered another foot injury, this time on the other foot.

At the end of January 2020, Möldner-Schmidt turned his back on competitive sports after repeated injury breaks.
