Following her marriage to her coach, her surname changed to Akın, although she was also subsequently known by the surname Akın-Gürler.[1]
Competing initially in the long jump and running sprint and middle distance, she specialized in 400 m and 400 m hurdles following her coach's recommendation. Özge Gürler was a member of İzmir Gençlik sports club, Anadolu University, Ankara MTA and İzmir Metropolitan Municipality sports club[2] before she transferred to Enkaspor in Istanbul.
