From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beate Edeltraud Peters (born 12 October 1959 in Marl) is a retired West German javelin thrower.
She finished seventh at the 1983 World Championships and the 1984 Summer Olympics. She then won silver medals at the 1986 European Championships and the 1987 World Championships. She also participated at the 1988 Olympics, but did not reach the final.
Her personal best throw was 69.56 metres with the old javelin type, achieved in July 1986 in Berlin. This ranks her tenth among German old-type-javelin throwers, behind Petra Felke (who held the world record), Antje Kempe, Silke Renk, Beate Koch, Karen Forkel, Tanja Damaske, Ruth Fuchs, Ingrid Thyssen and Susanne Jung.[1]
