Career

Fomm was the alternate for the German team at the 2016 World Junior B Curling Championships, skipped by Maike Beer. The team finished in eleventh place.

Fomm joined the German women's national team in 2018, initially at lead position. The German team would have success at the Europeans. The team reached the playoffs at Fomm's first European Curling Championships with a 5–4 record. In the semifinal, they lost to the Swiss team Silvana Tirinzoni 6–4. In the bronze medal game though, the Germans turned things around. The team would win the game 7–4, winning them the bronze medal.[2] It was her first medal at an international competition.[3] Fomm won her first tour event this season. Two months after the Europeans, the team won the Qinghai Curling Elite.[4][5] At the Worlds, her team of Daniela Jentsch, Emira Abbes and Analena Jentsch were sitting at 4–6 after their tenth game with two still to go. The team had another chance to clinch a playoff spot. But once again they lost their next game eliminating them from contention.[6] The team did have a good final game though, beating eventual winners Switzerland 10–8 after scoring four in the last end.[7]

Team Jentsch's first event of the 2019–20 season was at the 2019 Cargill Curling Training Centre Icebreaker where they lost in the quarterfinals. They also had playoff appearances at the 2019 Cameron's Brewing Oakville Fall Classic and the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic making the semifinals in both events.[8][9] The German team also qualified for their first Grand Slam of Curling event, the 2019 Tour Challenge Tier 2 where they went 1–3, missing the playoffs. At the 2019 European Curling Championships, the team did not qualify for the playoffs like in 2018, finishing the round-robin in fifth place with a 5–4 record. The team was set to represent Germany at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship before the event got cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11]
