Viertelfinale gegen Catharina Kock
It would have been her fourth Olympic, but the continental competition for the last ticket to Rio didnt finish with a happy end - Britta missed her last chance to qualify for the 2016 Games.
Being the only competitior winning all her pool matches, she started as best fencer in the day. But later on in the quarterfinal, Britta then lost to finnish Catharina Kock with 13:15. "The competition mode was weird, fencing a 10 hour tournament in 4 hours. That was just too tight for me. I congratulate Tiffany Geroudet, who won the last ticket to the Games" says the Olympic Champion.
If Britta will continue her career she will answer later this year. Due to her strong achilles tendan problems that needs to be fixed first. "To heal my achilles tendan is the most importing thing now. I was struggling for the whole qualification year. I am still not able to go jogging - that must change. Then i will think about my future", announces Britta after the competition.
