Excerpt: Heike Meissner (born 29 January 1970 in Dresden) is a retired German athlete. She competed mainly in the 400 metres hurdles, but also spent two seasons specializing in the 800 metres. Notable achievements include a silver medal at the 2002 European Championships, medals in 4 x 400 metres relay at the 1994 European Championships and the 1997 World Indoor Championships and a fourth place at the 1995 World Championships. She won the 400 metres hurdles bronze medal at the 1989 European Junior Championships. She also helped win the 4 x 400 m relay with the East German team. Her first World Championships participation came in 1991. Here, she finished seventh in the 400 m hurdles. At her first Olympic Games in 1992 she only reached the semi-final of the 400 m hurdles competition, but finished sixth in the 4 x 400 m relay with teammates Uta Rohlander, Linda Kisabaka and Anja Rucker. At the 1993 World Championships Meissner finished third in her semi-final heat, but this was not enough to reach the final round. Instead she competed once more on the 4 x 400 m relay team, finishing fifth with Sandra Seuser, Anja Rucker and Linda Kisabaka. The same year, however, Meissner competed at the 1993 Summer Universiade and won a gold medal in the 400 m hurdles. She beat Debbie-Ann Parris of Jamaica with a margin of only 0.01 seconds. In 1994 Meissner competed at the European Championships. She finished fourth in the individual distance, 0.11 seconds behind Russian Anna Knoroz who won the bronze medal. In the 4 x 400 m relay she won her first medal at a major international competition, finishing third with teammates Karin Janke, Uta Rohlander and Anja Rucker. The next year she repeated her achievements from the previous years. She once again finished fourth at a major competition, this time at the 1995 World Championships. She also won the 1995 Summer Universiade, this time with a comfortable margin. The next Olympic Games were held in 1996 in Atlanta. She finished sixth in 400 m hur
