Carolin Golubytskyi attended Riemenschneider-Realschule
Tauberbischofsheim and the
Kaufmännische Schule Tauberbischofsheim. Golubytskyi fought for the
Fencing-Club Tauberbischofsheim. She was coached by her husband,
Sergei Golubytskyi, a former world class fencer, 3 time consecutive World Champion, and Olympic silver medallist. Golubytskyi was part of the German team winning the bronze medal at the
2009 World Fencing Championships in
Antalya,
Turkey. She also won three medals at European Championships and participated in the
2008 Summer Olympics in
Beijing. She was nominated again to participate in the
2012 Summer Olympics in
London. Golubytskyi won her first round bout against
Colombian Saskia Garcia but was defeated in the round of 16 by
Elisa Di Francisca of
Italy, who would later win the gold medal. During the fight Di Francisca apparently hit Golubytskyi on the chin with the bell guard of her foil. After an interruption for several minutes, the German, who led the fight 8:6 at the time of the incident, was able to score only one further point and eventually lost 9:15. ==References==
