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

Marlies Göhr at the 33rd GDR Championships on July 1, 1982. She won over 100 meters for women with 10.91 seconds. On the right her club mate Sabine Rieger, who finished sixth.

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. "
