Ilke Wyludda (born March 28, 1969 in Leipzig ) is a former German discus thrower . She is Olympic champion of the 1996 Atlanta Games .

Career

From the 1980s to the end of the 20th century it was among the best in the world, although it started for the GDR until its end .

Ilke Wyludda initially practiced the shot put in addition to the discus throw and won the silver medal in the shot put at the European Junior Championships in Cottbus in 1985 in addition to the discus throwing title. Her best youth performances in 1986 (ball: 19.08 m, August 9, 1986 in Karl-Marx-Stadt ; discus: 65.86 m, August 1, 1986 in Neubrandenburg ) are (as of March 2016) valid youth world best.

She later focused on throwing the discus. In an unofficial qualification competition of the GDR leaders, she achieved the third-best distance ever achieved with 75.36 m (as of the end of the 2015 season), but lost to the later Olympic champion Martina Hellmann and thus also missed the Olympic participation in Seoul in 1988. Her scored in the same summer Width of 74.40 m (September 13, 1988 in Berlin ) is (as of March 2016) a valid junior world record .

From 1989 she helped to determine the top of the world with victories in the World and European Cups and at the European Championships. After a slump at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona (ninth place) and injuries, a new series of successes began in 1994, which was ended after her Olympic victory in 1996 with another long break from injury, which meant she was completely out of the 1997 season. Then she made a comeback, but without medal ranks at international highlights.

Ilke Wyludda started in the GDR for SC Chemie Halle (later renamed SV Halle), later for LAC Chemnitz . She trained first with Siegfried Eichfeld , later with Gerhard Böttcher . She is 1.84 m tall and weighed 97 kg in her active days. After her sports career, the qualified sports teacher for therapy, rehabilitation and disabled sports became a physiotherapist . She later studied medicine and now works as an anesthetist .

On December 9, 2010, Wyludda had to undergo an amputation of her right lower leg after an open wound became infected with bacteria.

In 2012 she started at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London in class F58. She reached 9th place in the discus throw (29.57 m, German record) and 5th place in the shot put with a significantly improved German record of 10.23 m. The following year, she started in Lyon for the World Championships and was able to improve her own German records of 11.05 m in the shot put and 29.91 m in the discus throw.

In 2014 there was a rule change in the sitting litter. Since then, Wyludda has been competing in the starting class F57. The change required many innovations in the sequence of movements. At the 2014 European Championships in Swansea, she won her first medals in disabled sports and achieved two new German records with 10.46 m in the shot put and 27.87 m in the discus throw.

Wyludda was bid farewell to the end of her career at the Deutsche Sporthilfe gala for the junior athlete of the year award on October 14, 2017 in Cologne.
