Career

Inka Grings actually wanted to become a tennis player . Since she was not accepted by the local tennis club, she began playing soccer at TSV Eller 04 in 1984 . Via Garather SV , she moved to FC Rumeln-Kaldenhausen in 1995, later FCR 2001 Duisburg .

On May 5, 1996 she made her debut in the German national team against Finland . In 1998 she scored three goals in the DFB Cup final in a 6-2 win over FSV Frankfurt . A year later she was the top scorer in the Bundesliga for the first time .

The year 2000 was the most successful year of her career. First she won the indoor cup with the FCR , then she became German champion . Then she took part in the 2000 Summer Olympics, with which she won 3rd place with the German team and thus a bronze medal. Her 38 goals this season are unmatched to this day. After the turn of the millennium, she was repeatedly thrown back from several injuries. In 2001 she missed the European Championship in her own country. In 2003 she suffered a strained thigh while taking a preparatory course for the World Cup . Shortly before the 2004 Olympics , she suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament . After this injury, she wanted to quit, but changed her mind during rehabilitation .

For winning the bronze medal at the 2000 Olympic Games, she and the team received the Silver Laurel Leaf.

When she was FCR to 2006 captain before her by coach this office Dietmar Herhaus was withdrawn. After the 1: 6 home defeat against 1. FFC Frankfurt , Herhaus sharply criticized Grings' attitude on and off the pitch. Inka Grings then announced that they wanted to change the club if nothing changes in the coaching position. Despite attempts at arbitration, this led to the final suspension of the player on October 25, 2006. On December 5, 2006, the suspension was lifted again, three weeks after coach Dietmar Herhaus resigned from his position. In February 2007 she extended her contract in Duisburg until June 30, 2009. In 2009 she won the UEFA Women's Cup and the DFB Cup with Duisburg and the European Championship with the national team , where she was the top scorer with six goals.
