Laura’s remarkable junior dominance catapulted her into the spotlight and gave her the opportunity to attempt a breakthrough in the senior ranks.

Laura, who was born in Potsdam in Berlin, Germany, started off as a competitive swimmer, but after finding life staring at the black line at the bottom of the pool a little too dull, decided to give triathlon a go and found results soon followed.

Her early successes earned her a spot at the 2016 Rio Olympics where she finished 28th despite only just stepping out of the junior ranks.

She took inspiration from competing with the world’s best on the biggest stage of all with her into 2017 and achieved some stunning results.

WTS Hamburg yielded a brilliant first podium finish with third place – and she would go one better in the same race on home soil a year later.

She was crowned German sprint distance champion three years in a row from 2017-2019.

Laura climbed up to the top step of the podium and secured World Cup wins in Chengdu and Banyoles in 2019 as well as a second place in Antwerp. She qualified for the Tokyo Olympics after finishing fifth in the test event.

She has also become a regular member of the German Mixed Relay team.

Laura competed in Super League Triathlon Singapore in 2019 where she finished 11th. She is coached by Ron Schmidt.
