Thanks to her successes at European Cups and the national championship, Tanzer has been an active athlete at the Army Sports Center of the Austrian Armed Forces since 2018.[3] She holds the rank of Gefreiter.[4] After a total of three operations and a two-year break from competition, she was able to return in autumn 2018 with two medals at the Continental Opens and one medal at the European Cup in Bratislava.[3] At the 2019 European Games in Minsk, she won the bronze medal in the mixed team competition for Austria together with Sabrina Filzmoser, Bernadette Graf, Michaela Polleres, Lukas Reiter, Marko Bubanja and Stephan Hegyi.[14][15] In the qualification period for the 2020 Olympic Games, Tanzer was able to secure two more medals at Continental Opens. She collected 583 points in the IJF Olympic Ranking and did not qualify for the Summer Games in Tokyo with 61st place in her weight class.[16]

She thus secured a European continental quota place.[17] She took part in the 2024 Olympic Games both in the -48 kg weight class and in the mixed team (together with Lubjana Piovesana, Michaela Polleres, Samuel Gaßner, Wachid Borchashvili and Aaron Fara).[18] In the individual competition, she had to admit defeat after a victory against Wong Ka Lee (HKG), the later silver medal winner, Bavuudorjiin Baasankhüü (MGL).[19] The first encounter in the mixed team competition against Germany ended 4:1. The Austrian team therefore took 9th place.[20]

For her participation in the Olympic Games, she was awarded the second Dan by Judo Austria.[1]
