She won a gold medal in the FILA Wrestling World Championships in 1989, 1990, 1993 and 1998, a silver medal in 1991, and bronze in 1999. She was European champion in sumo wrestling in 1998. She has won the National Championships nine times.[1]

She became known in Norway, when she, as the first in Norway, was suspended from her sport for not having revealed her whereabouts to the national anti-doping agency. The suspension lasted from April to November 2007, and destroyed her form for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[2]
