career path
In addition to her sporting activity, Rath learned the profession of educator for the disabled. In 2010 Rath went to the Bundeswehr and was assigned to the sports promotion group in Mainz . The high-performance athlete has been studying "social work" at the Rhein-Main University of Applied Sciences since 2011 .
Athletic career
Claudia Rath was introduced to the comparative competitive conditions of the running and jumping disciplines of athletics by her two older, sport-loving sisters as early as preschool age ; henceforth she also faced them with steadily increasing success.
Because of her wide range of services, the young top athlete (German B youth champion / individual discipline) specialized in all- around competitions . The athlete competes in both the pentathlon and the heptathlon in national and international competitions.
Rath's competitive strength is based primarily on the running and run- up disciplines - she describes the javelin throw and the shot put as her wobbly disciplines . According to her, her favorite discipline is the long jump, in which she regularly improves her overall ranking. The 800-meter run, which concludes the heptathlon and often demands the last of the athletes' strength, is one of their strongest disciplines, in which Rath very often corrects the hierarchy that was supposedly lost in the throwing disciplines in their favor during her final sprint.
Rath won her first national title in 2003 when she became German B youth champion over 400 meter hurdles in Fulda . In August 2004 she took part in the heptathlon for the first time in an international competition in Mérignac, France . In 2008 she became German Junior Champion in this discipline.
In 2009, Rath finished 2nd in the German heptathlon championship.
She started her active career at LG Dornburg in the Westerwald; Since January 1st, 2010 she starts for LG Eintracht Frankfurt . At a height of 1.75 m, the athlete has a competition weight of 65 kg.
In January 2010, she was in Frankfurt-Kalbach German all-around indoor champion in the pentathlon and placed in this competition with 4274 points, a new personal best at.

Although she narrowly fell short of the qualification criteria for the European Championships in Barcelona , the DLV nominated the athlete for the European Championships because of her good results in the running and jumping disciplines. Rath thanked her in Barcelona for the trust placed in her with a personal record of 6107 points and knocked on the European top of the heptathlon for the first time with her 11th place (see photo on the lap of honor). Shortly afterwards, she won the German all-around championship 2010 outdoors in both the individual and the team competition.
In 2011 Rath was able to defend her German championship title indoors and outdoors.
At the European Championships in Helsinki in 2012 she reached 7th place with a new personal record of 6210 points, confirming her membership of the European elite in the “supreme discipline of athletics”, the all-around competition .
In May 2012, at the all-round meeting in Götzis , Austria , which is traditionally always top-class, Rath improved her best-noted overall performance and achieved personal records in both throwing disciplines (shot put and javelin). With her 6189 points in the final evaluation, Rath fulfilled the A-Norm criteria for the Olympic Games in London , but was outbid in the points evaluation by Julia Mächtig at the subsequent qualification meeting in Ratingen, in which Rath did not take part, and missed the fourth place German In qualifying, participation in the Olympic Games was just under.
In June 2013 she raised her record to 6317 points at the all- around meeting in Ratingen , which means that she qualified for the World Championships in Moscow as second in the competition . In doing so, she set personal bests in three disciplines. At the World Athletics Championships in Moscow in August 2013, Rath again presented himself in top form and again achieved personal bests in three disciplines (long jump, high jump and 800-meter run). She also improved her personal best heptathlon rating by 145 points to 6462 points. In the final 800-meter run, she won with a lead of several meters and improved her own record in her parade discipline by two seconds. Already in 6th place in the overall standings at the start, Rath relegated two competitors in front of her to the places in her final sprint and missed precious metal by just a single second. With her 4th place in the final ranking, the four-time German champion finally established herself at the top of the world heptathlon.
In March 2017, Salman-Rath came third at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade with a personal best of 6.94 m in the long jump. At the Götzis all-around meeting in Austria, she took 5th place with a personal best of 6580 points. In Lille , in northern France , she was European team champion , to which she contributed by winning the long jump . In Erfurt she became German champion in the long jump. At the World Championships in London Salman-Rath came 8th with 6362 points in the heptathlon . She missed the long jump final with 6.54 m by 2 cm and finished 10th.
In 2018 Salman-Rath had to cancel the entire season for health reasons at the beginning of February and underwent a second knee operation after November 2017 in order to be competitive again in 2019.
