Katrin Krabbe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katrin Krabbe (born 22 November 1969 in Neubrandenburg, Germany) is a female athlete who competed for East Germany (before 1990) and Germany thereafter. She represented the DDR at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
She was a successful track star, winning the 100 m and 200 m titles in the 1990 European Championships in Athletics (held in Split) and the same titles at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics (held in Tokyo, where she vanquished Gwen Torrence and Merlene Ottey). She was also part of the winning 4x400 m East German women's team in the European Championships.
A three-year doping suspension kept her from competing in the 1992 Olympic Games, and effectively ended her athletic career. [1] [2] [3]
