Life

In the spring of 2008, she failed to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and should go again in four kayak at the start there. However, few days before the start of the competitions she contracted a sinus infection. On the advice of the doctors she was replaced at the specified position in the quad by replacing Ms Conny Waßmuth and had to leave early from the Olympic Village. In the final of Beijing 2008, the German four-man kayak for women ( 500 m) eventually won the gold medal without Leonhardt.
