In 2004 she narrowly failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in Athens with 14 hundredths of a second over the specified 10,000 meter standard of 31:45 min . At the end of the season she celebrated her greatest success to date by winning the title at the European Cross Country Championships in Heringsdorf .

Again she finished fourth in the Great South Run, and on the half marathon course of the Great North Run, which was not suitable for the best list because of its slope , she was eighth with a time of 1:12:11 h.
