Career

Gisela Pohle is a severely disabled wheelchair user. Despite her disability, she wanted to do competitive sport and therefore chose table tennis , which she did in the women's singles as well as in the team in the TT 5 group. Because of her good performance, she was appointed to the German national disabled sports team. With this team she took part in the Paralympic Summer Games in 1996, in which she was used in her performance group in both women's singles and in the women's team and won two Olympic medals. First she was third in the women’s singles and won a bronze medal.

Then she fought for the first place with the women's team in the line-up of Pohle, Monica Bartheidel , Monika Sikora and Christiane Pape and thus became Olympic champion and winner of the gold medal in her group TT 5.

For this success she received, together with the German wheelchair table tennis team, performance group TT 5, the silver laurel leaf .
