Fisch missed the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome after breaking her leg in a skiing accident. She won two medals at the 1962 European Championships in Belgrad, silver in the 4 × 100 m relay (44.6) and bronze in the 80 m hurdles. The hurdles final was extremely close, with Fisch, Teresa Ciepły, Karin Balzer and Maria Piątkowska all running 10.6; eventually, judges announced that Ciepły had won and Balzer placed second, while Fisch and Piątkowska shared third place. In 1964 Fisch again missed out on the Olympics due to an injury.
