Athletic career

When Mandy Marquardt was six years old, her family moved from Mannheim to the United States, where she was initially active in various sports.

During a routine health check by her then Rothaus team , it was discovered that the then 16-year-old Marquardt was suffering from diabetes . She then returned to the United States to live with her mother again. Since 2009 she has been riding for the Novo Nordisk team , a cycling team for people with diabetes. In 2014 she became two-time US champion, in the 500-meter time trial and in the team sprint , together with Shelby Walter . She also won five Florida championship titles and two US student championships.

At the Pan American Championships 2017, Mandy Marquardt won three medals: with Madalyn Godby gold in the team sprint, silver in the keirin and bronze in the 500-meter time trial.
