German Carolin Leonhardt won three Olympic canoeing medals, K-4 gold and K-2 silver in 2004, and a K-4 silver in 2012. At World Championships Leonhardt won six flatwater gold, eight silver, and one bronze medal, and at Europeans won seven gold, seven silver and four bronze medals.
Leonhardt would probably have won gold in the 2008 Olympic K-4 but became very ill only a few days before the competition, and was replaced by Conny Waßmuth. Leonhardt was forced to leave the Olympic Village on doctor’s orders. In 2012, she was awarded the Silver Bay Leaf, Germany’s highest sports award. Professionally she worked for the police, and was also a canoeing coach.
