Altheman finished joint 5th at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She beat Anne-Sophie Mondière in her first match, then Nihel Cheikh Rouhou before losing to Mika Sugimoto in the quarterfinals. Because Sugimoto reached the final, Altheman was entered into the repechage. In the repechage, she beat Gulzhan Issanova before losing her bronze medal match to Tong Wen.[2]

Altheman qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics, where she lost in the first fight.[1] At the 2020 Summer Olympics, Altman won her first fight only to injure her knee losing the quarterfinal to Romane Dicko, forcing her to abandon the tournament rather than go to the repechage.[3]
