Carolin Dietrich , née Carolin Nytra (born February 26, 1985 in Hamburg ), is a former German athlete who has specialized in the 100 meter hurdles .

career path

After graduating from high school in 2004, Nytra successfully completed an apprenticeship as a bank clerk in Hamburg and studied business administration for competitive athletes (BA) at the University of Oldenburg from 2006 , whereby the online course offers the advantage of being able to travel a lot. For her studies she received a scholarship until 2010.

Nytra moved to Mannheim at the end of 2010. As part of her bachelor's degree , she worked for Mannheim city marketing in the field of PR and events . The fact that the change was even possible is thanks to the joint efforts of MTG Mannheim , Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe , City of Mannheim and Stadtmarketing Mannheim GmbH that not only the sporting, but also the professional framework conditions were right for the athlete, and her bachelor thesis all around was able to write the topic " Successful athletes as image drivers in city marketing ". Your ideal would be a job in athlete management for a large sports company. After Nytra had completed her part-time studies, she worked as a management consultant at an event agency in Mannheim since the beginning of 2015.

Dietrich, as Nytra has been called since their marriage, followed her husband in mid-2015, who had moved to Leipzig for work, and got a job in the marketing department of his employer. In the same year, she was offered an “unbelievable position” by her employer, who was promoted to the 1st Bundesliga in 2016.

Athletic career

In 1997 Nytra had started with athletics, had entered the competition business in 1999 and participated in the German championships for the first time in 2000.

In 2004 Nytra was German youth champion and sixth in the junior world championships .

In 2005 she won the German Junior Championships and was sixth in the U23 European Championships .

In 2007 she won the German Championships in Erfurt . However, the achieved time of 13.24 s was not enough to qualify for the World Championships in Osaka . At the U23 European Championships in the same year she was again sixth. Until 2010 she was able to defend her German championship title.

On July 30, 2008, shortly before her start at the Olympic Games in Beijing , where she was eliminated in the semifinals on August 18, 2008 with 12.99 s, Nytra improved her personal record to 12.82 s in Leverkusen .

In 2009 she was ninth at the 2009 European Indoor Championships . In the open-air season, she won the German Championships in Ulm and qualified for the World Championships in Berlin with a new personal best of 12.78 s . There she was eliminated in the semifinals with 12.94 s.

Nytra after winning the bronze medal at the 2010 European Championships

In June 2010 she ran at the “Weltklasse hinterm Deich” meeting in Cuxhaven 12.79 s in the lead and 12.83 s in the final and only missed her personal best by a hundredth of a second. With this achievement she placed herself at the top of the European best list. At the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne on July 8, 2010, Nytra improved her best performance to 12.57 s, the seventh best time ever achieved by a German runner over this distance. At the European Championships in Barcelona in 2010 , she won bronze as the leader of the European best list in 12.68 s.

Nytra had switched from LG Hausbruch-Neugraben-Fischbek in Hamburg to TuS Komet Arsten in Bremen in 2005 . After the end of the 2010 season, she announced her move to MTG Mannheim .

In 2011 Nytra won the gold medal at the 2011 European Indoor Championships in Paris with a personal best of 7.80 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles . A joint injury prevented her participation in the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, that same year .

In June 2012 she ran her first open-air race in Mannheim after 22 months and met the standard for the Olympic Games in London . A week later she became German champion for the fifth time in Wattenscheid. At the games in London she reached the semifinals.

In the 2013 season, Nytra did not intervene in the competition after operations on both heels, the planned comeback for 2014 had to be postponed because she did not get in shape on time.

At the German Indoor Championships in 2015 , she took 4th place, but could not contest an outdoor season.

End of career

Dietrich originally wanted to end her sporting career with the 2016 Olympic Games . On June 9, 2016, however, she announced her departure from active competitive sport on her website.

For three years Dietrich had not competed in open-air competitions due to heel problems and operations until she competed again at the Sparkasse meeting on May 29, 2016 in Jena (13.55 s) and found at this first and only start of the season that the complaints that reappeared after the race, made it clear that their body would hardly be able to withstand the further training load to achieve the norm (13.00 s) for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . After consulting with her attending physician, she came to the conclusion that further exposure would endanger her health after the extreme reaction of a single competition run and that a more serious injury could not be ruled out.
