Ilona Briesenick, née Schoknecht divorced Slupianek (born September 24, 1956 in Demmin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is a retired German athlete, who starred mainly in the shot put. She became Olympic, European and seven times GDR champion and set world records twice.
Slupianek was disqualified for doping at the 1977 European Cup, where she dominated her event with a superlative 21.20.[1] Just one year and 16 days after her disqualification she returned to win the 1978 European title, and went on to win the European Indoor title in 1979.[2]
She competed for East Germany in Moscow (USSR), where she won the gold medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics. In the next years she obtained gold at the European Indoor Championships in 1981 and the European Championships in 1982, followed by a bronze medal at the 1983 World Championships.[2]
