In the competitions over 200 m and 400 m she was eliminated in the preliminary run. Eight years later she competed again at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles , this time over 1500 m , but she was also eliminated here in the preliminary run. At the Swiss Championships she finished seven times over the 1500 m behind Cornelia Bürki.
