Other championship titles in the Junior Women then they no longer won, although it until 2005 in this age group would still be allowed to start.

Against the same wrestler they also lost in the 2007 World Championships in Baku. They fought there but with wins over Sofia Poumpouridou and Tetyana Lazareva again a World Cup bronze medal.
To a great disappointment were the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing for Natalja Golz.
