Career
Barthel was called Sun Zhen Qi (pronounced "Tchentchi"; the family name comes first in China) when she was born . In China she was initially one of the most talented young table tennis players, but could not prevail. Therefore, when she was nine years old, she and her parents moved from the northern Chinese province of Liaoning to Shanghai. At the sports school there she met Na Yin, who played for the German club TS Homberg and made contacts in Germany for her.
In August 2002 she came to Germany, at the beginning of 2005 she was adopted by the Barthel couple, and at the same time she took on German citizenship.

After she won the national ranking tournament in 2007, she was nominated for the world championships . While she was eliminated early in singles (1st round) and mixed doubles (2nd round), she reached the quarter-finals in women's doubles with Nicole Struse . There they were eliminated from Singapore by Li Jia Wei and Wang Yue Gu . In the summer of 2007 Barthel moved to the Bundesliga club DJK TuS Holsterhausen , and in 2010 to Hassia Bingen (since 2011 TTG Bingen / Münster-Sarmsheim ). At the team world championship in Guangzhou in 2008 , she was used in six of the eight games of the German women's national team.
