Winner of the 5000 m at Lillehammer, Nagano and Salt Lake City.
At Lillehammer, she upset her countrywoman Gunda
Kleeman a first time. At Nagano, Kleeman skated a fantastic world record,
becoming the first woman under 7 minutes. One heat later, Pechstein skated
0.04 seconds faster to snatch the gold.
At Salt Lake City, Pechstein was the only favourite, but Gretha Smit of the
Netherlands had decided to come down from her marathon skating to try the
longest Olympic distance. At her first serious race, she broke the 6:50 barrier.
Pechstein again had to defeat a new world record to take her third gold medal,
but now she did it with a bit more difference. Despite being 3 seconds down
with 1200 m to go, she defeated the Dutch woman by over 2 seconds.
She was banned from competing at Vancouver, denying her the chance of becoming the first
person to win medals at six Olympic Games, but she stayed in the sport to try for that
feat in Sochi. She managed only fourth.
Two weeks short of her 46th birthday, she competed in her seventh Olympics at Pyeongchang.
And it was a sign of the decline of German Speed Skating to see her
qualify for her eighth olympics at almost 50.
