Ines Geißler (born February 16, 1963 in Marienberg ) is a former German swimmer who competed for the GDR .
Career
She celebrated her first and at the same time greatest triumph of her career at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow when she became Olympic champion in the 200 m butterfly . In 1981 and 1982 she was able to repeat the victory at the European and World Championships . At the European Championships in 1983 she still managed to win the 100 m butterfly before she ended her career in 1984. In 1980 she was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in silver and in 1984 in gold.
GDR doping
Their successes, like those of many other GDR top athletes, must be viewed in a different light due to the systematic administration of illegal performance-enhancing substances by GDR sports officials, doctors and trainers.
