Steuk competing at the 1982 East German Indoor Championships

Her first success came at the 1977 European Athletics Junior Championships, where she won the 800 m title.[1] At the age of 20, she reached the final in the 800 metres at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and placed fourth in a lifetime best time of 1:56.21 behind the Soviet trio of Nadiya Olizarenko, Olga Mineyeva and Tatyana Providokhina, Olizarenko breaking the world record.[2] A successful 1981 season followed, which included a win at the 1981 European Cup,[3] and at the 1981 IAAF World Cup she won an 800 m silver behind Lyudmila Veselkova and a gold with the East German 4 × 400 metres relay team.[4] She ranked second in the world that year for the 800 m behind Vesselkova with a time of 1:57.16.[5] That success continued into 1982 with a silver medal at the 1982 European Athletics Indoor Championships, finishing second only to Romania's Doina Melinte.[6] She was top of the world indoor rankings that season with 1:59.24 minutes.[7]

She was a three-time national champion, winning the 800 m at the East German Athletics Championships in 1981 before taking a national indoor and outdoor double in 1982.[8][9]

She holds one of the fastest times for the 1000 metres at 2:30.85 minutes. This was the second fastest ever when it was set in 1980, behind Soviet runner Tatyana Providokhina, though it remained the fastest recorded electronically recorded time for ten years.[10] It remains the best mark by an under-23 athlete and she also holds the under-23 best for the 600 metres event with 1:24.56 minutes.[11]

Steuk was born in Berlin and was a member of her local club Berliner TSC. She married East German hammer thrower Roland Steuk in 1991.[12] The two subsequently divorced. She was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit for her athletic feats in 1982.[13]
