Corinna Schwab (born April 5, 1999 in Schwandorf , Bavaria ) is a German athlete who specializes in long sprints and relay races.

career path

Schwab attended the FOS / BOS in Amberg ( technical college / vocational school ) and obtained the technical college entrance qualification with a grade of 1.6 in 2017. In 2018 she graduated from high school and decided on Chemnitz as her place of study and center of life, because the Olympic base there seemed suitable for her to achieve her dream goal: the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Schwab is studying economics for a Bachelor's degree at the Technical University in Chemnitz .

Athletic career

At the age of seven or eight, Corinna Schwab initially played a little soccer , then wanted to try a new sport for a change, and began to be interested in running, which brought her to athletics.

Schwab competed in her first competition when she was eight years old in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate .

In 2014 Schwab set a new Bavarian record at the Bavarian Schoolchildren's Championships in Regensburg with 42.50 seconds over 300 meter hurdles. Barely four weeks later she became German U16 champion over this distance .

In 2015 Schwab took part in the U18 World Championships in Cali . With the 4-by-400-meter relay , she achieved 4th place, but was eliminated in the 400-meter hurdles due to a fall in the lead. A good two weeks later she became German U18 champion in this discipline .

In 2016, Schwab competed in the 400-meter run in the indoor season and became German U20 vice indoor champion . She started internationally again and entered the U18 European Championships in Tbilisi with three standards fulfilled . An ischial inflammation prevented fast times, however, and after the preliminary round over 200 meters she did not start again.

In 2017 Schwab was again German U20 vice-indoor champion over 400 meters. Internationally, she was able to win her first international medal with the 4 x 400 meter relay in Grosseto as U20 vice European champion . Schwab achieved fourth place over 400 meters with a personal best of 53.09 s. Less than two weeks later, she became German U20 champions on the stadium circuit.

In 2018 Schwab was able to become German U20 indoor champion over 400 meters after two runner-up titles in previous years . In an eventful last U20 year, Schwab had her greatest successes to date at the U20 World Championships in Tampere: In the 4 x 100 meter relay , she was U20 world champion together with Viktoria Dönicke , Sophia Junk and Denise Uphoff. With the 4 x 400 meter relay she came in fifth place and over 200 meters Schwab took 6th place with a personal best. A week later, Schwab took bronze at the German championships on the stadium round with his personal best of the season. Three weeks later, as a U20, she was able to gain experience with the 4 x 400 meter relay at the European Championships in Berlin and took 6th place with Nadine Gonska , Laura Müller , Karolina Pahlitzsch and Hannah Mergenthaler .

In 2019, she switched to LG Telis Finanz Regensburg to professionalize her environment. In the indoor season, Schwab came fourth at the German indoor championships over 400 meters. In her first U23 year, she took part in the World Relays , the unofficial relay world championships. In the team classification she reached fourth place. With Marc Koch , Svea Köhrbrück and Marvin Schlegel and a 7th place, Schwab helped qualify the 4 x 400 meter mixed relay for the World Championships in Doha . Over 200 meters she became German U23 runner-up . At the European Games in Minsk she came third in the team ranking of athletes. With the 4 x 400 meter mixed relay, Schwab took 5th place. She took bronze with the 4 x 400 meter relay at the U23 European Championships in Gävle . At the German Championships she reached the semi-finals with a 10th place over 400 meters.

In 2020, Schwab came up with two personal bests during the indoor season at the 22nd International Indoor Meeting in Chemnitz: over 60 and 200 meters. She won medals as the German indoor champion over 400 meters and German indoor runner-up with the 4 x 200 meter relay. In the open-air season, which started late due to the Covid-19 pandemic with special hygiene requirements, she confirmed her form and became German champion over the stadium lap with a personal best of 51.73 seconds .

Corinna Schwab was part of the C-squad of the German Athletics Association (DLV) in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 . With the competitive sports reform , she came into the junior squad 1 U20 in 2017/2018 and in the perspective squad in 2018/2019 . Schwab has been in the junior squad 1 U23 since 2018/2019 .
