Ute Hedicke (born July 5, 1952 ) is a former German athlete who was one of the best German long jumpers in the 1970s and was also successful in other disciplines.

Career

Shortly after her twentieth birthday, she reached 5th place in the 1972 German championships as the final runner with the 4 x 100 meter relay of her club DJK Andernach . In the following indoor season in 1973, at the age of twenty, she won her first German individual medal with bronze in the long jump, which she was able to silver for the first time in Munich in the winter of 1974.

In the summer of 1974 in Hanover , she narrowly missed an open-air medal with 6.25 meters in 4th place and also reached 8th place in the pentathlon , the athletics all-round discipline for women at the time . In the next indoor season in 1975 she achieved silver again in Munich and the greatest international success at the European Indoor Championships in Katowice with another 6.25 meters in 5th place.

In the summer of 1975 in Gelsenkirchen she missed the open-air medal with now 6.30 meters with the same widths in places three to five and again in fourth place even closer than in the previous year. After switching to USC Mainz in the winter , she succeeded in 1976 in Dortmund with 6.28 meters in the German indoor championship in 1976 and with it the greatest national success and with 6.18 meters in 8th place at the European Indoor Championships in Munich , the jump into the continental final.

She also reached the long jump final at the 1976 open-air championship in Frankfurt , with 7th place and 5.99 meters, just a little clearer from the podium than in the two previous years. And with the 4 x 100 meter relay of the new club, for the third time in the open air it was only enough for the so-called “wooden medal” in the thankless place 4.

In the 1977 open-air season in Hamburg , she jumped 6.14 meters into the final of the German championship for the fourth time, but only in eighth place. At the dress rehearsal on July 5, 1977 in Troisdorf, she had the personal best of 6.41 meters, with which she finished 142nd on the all-time German best list in 2018. With already on 8 May 1975 for the first time achieved in Bonn 6.30 meters, a club record for DJK Andernach it was previously managed the only Lilli Schwarzkopf nearly surpassed 2012 and 2020 continues to number 3 on the all-time list in the Association Athletics Rhineland was to which the DJK belongs.

Hedicke was also an excellent 100 meter hurdler . She achieved her best performance in 1978 with 13.7 seconds in Stuttgart, which put her in 57th place in the all - time German best list for hand-stopped times in 1986. In her active days she was 1.65 m tall and weighed 56 kg.
