Schober qualified for two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing FINA A-standard entry times of 1:08.17 (100 m breaststroke) and 2:14.48 (200 m individual medley) from the German Olympic trials in Berlin. On the second night of the Games, Schober challenged seven other swimmers in a top seeded heat of the 100 m breaststroke, including world record holder Leisel Jones of Australia, and former Olympic champion Megan Jendrick of the United States. Schober finished dead-last in her heat and thirty-sixth overall with a time of 1:11.36, more than five seconds behind Jones, who broke an Olympic record. In the 200 m individual medley, Schober repeated her luck on the same heat, as she finished dead-last again by six seconds behind Canada's Erica Morningstar in 2:20.18. Schober failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-fourth overall in the preliminary heats. Her Olympic time in the medley was 2.28 seconds behind her fellow swimmer Katharina Schiller.
