Balthasar was born in 1964[1] in Forst, Bezirk Cottbus, East Germany.[2] She initially competed for SG Dynamo Potsdam and was chosen for the 1984 Summer Olympics but did not compete due to the Eastern Bloc boycott.[3] During 1985, she changed to SC Dynamo Berlin.

In October 1986, she was awarded a Patriotic Order of Merit in gold (first class) for her sporting success.[6] Balthasar studied medicine.[3]
