Athletic career

Imke Onnen initially played tennis . She is a late starter in athletics. It was not until she was 15, fueled by the enthusiasm for her brother Eike's “ jumping”, that Onnen realized that high jump would be her favorite discipline.

In 2010 she came in 11th place at the German U18 Youth Indoor Championships with 1.65 m and 8th place at the German U18 Championships with 1.71 m .

In 2011 Onnen climbed to 8th place with 1.69 m at the German U20 indoor youth championships and 3rd place at the German U18 championships with 1.77 m . Internationally, she took 15th place at the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) in Trabzon ( Turkey ).

In 2012 Onnen reached a 5th place with 1.75 m at the German U20 indoor youth championships , but failed at the German indoor championships due to the entrance height of 1.70 m . At the end of the year, with a personal best of 1.82 m, she was third on the German U20 best of the year.

In 2013 Onnen became German U20 indoor youth champion at 1.81 m and German U20 runner-up with 1.79 m . In the active category she took 3rd place at the German Indoor Championships with 1.80 m and 4th place at the German Championships with 1.78 m . Internationally she was eliminated from the qualification at the U20 European Championships in Rieti ( Italy ). In her final U20 year, Onnen topped the German U20's annual best list with a personal best of 1.84 m outdoors and was second with a personal best of 1.81 m indoors.

In 2014 she was German indoor runner-up and fifth place at the German championships with season bests of 1.80 m . Between the two competitions she had to cure a fatigue fracture in her foot and walk on crutches for five months.

In 2015, Onnen won the title of German indoor champion in the active as well as the German U23 champion with personal bests of 1.86 m . At the German Championships she came in 3rd place with 1.84 m.

In 2016 Onnen started in January with a new personal best of 1.87 m in the indoor season. But even to defend her title she could not compete at the German Indoor Championships because of a foot injury. If at the end of May at the 22nd  Sinner high jump meeting in Fleisbach ( Hesse ) with a jump of 1.80 m it still looked like a recovery, the ankle problems thwarted hopes for participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .
