Born in Dniprodzerzhynsk, Ukrainian SSR, she had a very brief period of success in sprinting. In 1987 she won the 200 metres at the Soviet Athletics Championships with a time of 23.25 seconds. This was the slowest winning recorded at the competition after the introduction of fully automatic timing equipment. However, she achieved a much quicker personal best in Chelyabinsk that year of 22.47 seconds. This ranked her as the 13th fastest in the world for the discipline that year.

German's sole appearance at a major athletics competition came at the 1987 World Championships in Athletics. She did not perform well individually, being eliminated in the first round as the fastest non-qualifier. Success awaited her in the relay, however, as she ran the curve leg in a Soviet women's team including Irina Slyusar, Natalya Pomoshchnikova, and Olga Antonova. The team ended up a clear third place behind the American and East German women.
