At only 19 years old, Leuchter was one of the youngest players at the 2023 IHF Women’s World Championship, but also one of the most impressive considering her age and lack of experience, scoring 23 goals, but also being a key lynchpin in Germany’s defence, with seven steals.

Unfortunately for Leuchter, her knee injury suffered in the last match of the competition cast a shadow over her performance, but the towering right back was also named the “Best Young Player” at Denmark/Norway/Sweden 2023, making her appearance in the All-Star team.
