In 2016, Tanzer won the national championship and a European Cup medal for the first time. In June 2016, she suffered a ACL tear during a training camp in Japan.[13][14]

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.[15] She holds the rank of Gefreiter.[16] 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.[17] 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.[18][19] 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.[20]

The Austrian team therefore took 9th place.[24]
