More about Franziska Liebhardt
Franziska Liebhardt, a German Paralympic athlete, died in Würzburg on November 8, 2026, aged 44.
Born in Berlin on January 5, 1982, she competed in athletics, taking part in throwing events in the F37 classification and the long jump in T37. Her events included both throws and jumping, across two classifications.
In shot put, she held the women’s F37 world record as of September 2016. Liebhardt set that mark while competing at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. The record connected her performance in the event with the Paralympic competition in which she established it, while her broader program also included the long jump and other throwing events. Her career in Paralympic athletics thus encompassed several field events rather than a single discipline. The available account identifies her Berlin birth, her German nationality and her competition in the F37 and T37 classifications. It also records the world-record mark in women’s F37 shot put and its setting at the Rio Games. Liebhardt died in Würzburg at 44.
