	Astrid Kumbernuss
		After an inconsistent start to her career, Astrid Kumbernuss matured to be the dominant force in women's shot putting during the late 1990s.
		Kumbernuss had only just advanced to senior competition when, aged only 20, she won the shot put at the 1990 European Championships in Split with a throw of 20.38m.
		In 1995, Kumbernuss was in a class above the rest of the world's shot putters, winning all 18 of her outdoor competitions, and in seven of them she exceeded the best mark of the year's next ranked woman.

	[No title]
		Germany’s Astrid Kumbernuss was 1996 Olympic Champion, a three-time World Championship gold medallist (1995, 97, 99), and the winner of the 1990 European title, and in the process took the women’s Shot Put into the limelight, attracting the interest of spectators, media and meeting directors, alike.
		Kumbernuss, who is 1.87m tall, was built into a world class athlete by her coach, Dieter Kollark, who is also her long time life partner and father to her, almost seven-year-old, son Philip.
		Anyway Kumbernuss will remain happy whatever the outcome of her World Championship campaign, because she knows that the next German generation of Shot putters is already emerging.

	Athletics
		Following her second World Championships victory at Athens in August 1997, Astrid Kumbernuss underwent knee surgery in November 1997, and then took the whole of the 1998 season off, during which time she gave birth to her son, Philip, on 7 July.
		In 2000, although she was still producing world-class performances, Kumbernuss did not have the same domination of the event that she had enjoyed in earlier years.
		Kumbernuss improved on her throw at Ghent a number of times during the outdoor season in Europe, including three meets with throws over 20 metres, during her preparation for the Olympic Games held later that year in Sydney.
