Karen Forkel (born 24 September 1970 in Wolfen ) is a German track and field athlete and an Olympic medal winner. In the 1990s she was among the world's best javelin throwers . Her biggest success came in the 1992 Summer Olympics when she took the bronze medal with a throw of 66.86 meters.[1]
Her personal best throw with the new-type-javelin was 65.17 metres, achieved in July 1999 in Erfurt .[2] This ranks her fifth among German javelin throwers, behind Christina Obergföll , Steffi Nerius , Tanja Damaske and Linda Stahl .[2] With the old javelin type she threw 70.20 metres in May 1991 in Halle . This ranks her fifth among German old-type-javelin throwers, behind Petra Felke (who held the world record ), Antje Kempe , Silke Renk and Beate Koch .[3]
Forkel represented SC Chemie Halle , which after the German reunification was renamed SV Halle. During her career she was 1.72 meters tall and weighed 63 kilograms.
