Marlies Göhr , née Marlies Oelsner (born March 21, 1958 in Gera ), is a German athlete and Olympic champion who - starting for the GDR - was one of the world's best 100-meter runners in the 1970s and 1980s . During this time she was in the state-organized doping program .
Life
Marlies Göhr grew up as the daughter of a master carpenter in Triptis ( Thuringia ). In 1971 she was delegated to the children's and youth sports school in Bad Blankenburg . Marlies Göhr is married to the former GDR Oberliga soccer player Ulrich Göhr ( FC Carl Zeiss Jena ). In 1988, after the Olympic Games in Seoul , she ended her athletics career. She studied psychology.
On November 9, 1989, Göhr had a daughter.
Marlies Göhr started for SC Motor Jena and trained with Horst-Dieter Hille . In her active time she was 1.65 m tall and weighed 55 kg. On July 1, 1977, she was the first woman in the world to run the 100 meters under 11.0 seconds, exactly in 10.88 s. As a junior world record, this is still the case today (as of August 2016).
A single gold medal over 100 meters at the Olympic Games was denied to her: In 1980 in Moscow she was placed in second place behind the Russian Lyudmila Kondratjewa by a judge's decision . In 1982 she became European champion over 100 meters, defeating Bärbel Wöckel , who she also regularly defeated at the GDR championships. In 1984 she would have been a favorite alongside Evelyn Ashford (USA) at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles , but the then Eastern Bloc boycotted the Games. In the post-Olympic duel between the two sprinters a few days after the Olympics at the world-class sports festival in Zurich ( Switzerland ), Evelyn Ashford won in a new world record time of 10.76 seconds ahead of Marlies Göhr. Until August 2012 she was co-owner of the world record in the 4 x 100 meter run: At the World Cup in Canberra on October 6, 1985, she ran a time of 41.37 s together with Silke Gladisch , Sabine Günther and Ingrid Auerswald .
She was also known for her running style, a “drum step” that gave the impression that every step was too short.
Today Göhr works as a psychologist in the Saale care center of Lebenshilfe in Jena.

Doping in the GDR
In 1991, anti-doping opponents Brigitte Berendonk and Werner Franke were able to secure dozens of dissertations and post-doctoral theses by former GDR doping researchers at the Bad Saarow Military Medical Academy . Based on the work, the state-organized doping practice of many well-known GDR competitive athletes, including Marlies Göhr, was reconstructed. According to the information, Marlies Göhr received high doses of Oral-Turinabol in 1983 and 1984 . The medication with Oral-Turinabol for 1984 was 1405 milligrams. When asked about the gift of doping, Goehr replied to the ARD: “You can't be the best in the world for 13 years and just run around with doping substances. There is much more to it. "
