Broersen competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the women's heptathlon event, where she finished 13th with a personal best score of 6319 points.[1] At the 2013 World Championships in Athletics she competed in the women's heptathlon as well, but started very bad by falling over the last hurdle in the 100 m hurdles.
