Pamela Dutkiewicz (born September 28, 1991 in Kassel ) is a German athlete who specializes in the 100-meter hurdles . Her greatest success so far is winning the bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships in London.

career path

She passed her Abitur in 2011 at the Märkisches Gymnasium in Bochum- Wattenscheid . Since then she has been studying at the TU Dortmund for a teaching post at the primary school.

Athletic career

Dutkiewicz began her athletics career at the age of ten with the LG Baunatal / Fuldabrück, sponsoring association GSV Eintracht Baunatal . Most recently she trained there with Sigfried Henning and Michael Birkelbach. As is typical for athletics, Dutkiewicz tried out all disciplines at a young age and thus took a broad range of sports. In 2005 she won the silver medal at the German block championships. She competed in the “sprint / jump” block, which includes the disciplines of 100 meters running, 80 meters hurdles, long jump, high jump and javelin throw.

Her talent for the hurdles sprint was discovered early on. Since the age of 15, she has specialized more and more. In 2007 Dutkiewicz changed clubs and coaches. At TV Wattenscheid 01 , she joined Slawomir Filipowski's training group in 2008. At the age of 16 she moved to the associated sports boarding school in Wattenscheid. She later said, “That was the best step of my life. Up until then I was still quite a mum child, but moving to boarding school helped me become more independent ”.

Dutkiewicz had to deal with many setbacks in her athletics career. In 2010, she repeatedly undercut the norm over 100 meter hurdles for the U20 World Championships in Moncton. In direct comparison, she was always faster than her German competitors. At a competition in Mannheim - the cut-off date for the U20 World Cup - two other athletes were ahead. Although Dutkiewicz ran more consistently throughout the season, she was not nominated for the U20 World Cup. With her time of 13.37 s, she was sixth in the then U20 world best list.

Dutkiewicz was directly affected in the suspension railway accident at TU Dortmund University in 2012. She was sitting in the fully automated elevated train when it rammed a dumpster. She suffered whiplash and a laceration on her lip that was sewn with five stitches. For a long time, the whiplash caused balance problems, from which the following competitions suffered.

Dutkiewicz's boom began in 2014. At the German indoor championships in Leipzig she won her first national adult medal. In 8.19 s over 60 meter hurdles she ran into third place. At the German championships in Ulm , Dutkiewicz finished fourth in 12.95 s. The norm at that time for the European Championships was 13.00 s. Nevertheless, she was not nominated, as only three athletes per nation are allowed to compete in the European championships. The time of 12.95 s over the 100 meter hurdles was nevertheless a breakthrough for her; In 2014 it was ranked 15th on the European best list.

In the 2015 indoor season, Dutkiewicz took second place in the German championships over 60 meter hurdles. The time of 8.07 s also meant the norm for the European Indoor Championships . Dutkiewicz, however, kinked both feet a few meters behind the target and tore his ligaments on both sides. Until the end of the year she could no longer intervene in the competition. During this time she made a change in diet, at the end of which she had lost ten kilograms.

In 2016 she made her comeback. In the indoor season, she was able to build on her good times from 2015. At the German indoor championships , however, she made a false start in the final, which is why she was disqualified. In her first run of the year over 100 meter hurdles, however, she managed the EM standard (13.05 s) with 13.02 seconds. Just one week later, in Regensburg, with 12.85 s, it clearly undercut the Olympic standard of 13.00 s. At the German championships in Kassel , she crashed on the third hurdle and did not finish. Something similar happened to her in the final of the European Championships in Amsterdam when she fell over the first hurdle; but even reaching the finals was a great success for Dutkiewicz. She herself stated that she had become significantly faster and that the higher speed had to be adjusted to the hurdle technique and the distance between the hurdles. At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , she reached the semi-finals, in which she was twelfth in 12.92 s.

In 2017 Dutkiewicz became German indoor champion in the 60 meter hurdles with a personal best in 7.79 s in Leipzig and took third place at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade . In Lille , northern France , Dutkiewicz became the European team champion , in the 100-meter hurdles she finished in 6th place. In Erfurt , she secured the German championship title in this discipline. At the 2017 World Championships in London , she surprisingly won the bronze medal in 12.72 s.

In 2018, Dutkiewicz won the runner-up title over the 60 meter hurdles at the German indoor championships in Dortmund and again the championship title with the 4 x 200 meter relay. At the German championships in Nuremberg she won bronze in the 4 x 100 meter relay. In addition, she defended her championship title over 100 m hurdles by setting a new championship record with 12.69 s. She achieved a great success in the European championships in Berlin when she became vice-European champion behind the Belarusian Elwira Herman . At the Continental Cup in Ostrava Dutkiewicz took second place with the European team, to which they contributed with a third place in the individual.
