Moller qualified as a lone judoka for the South African squad in the women's half-middleweight class (63 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing second and granting a berth from the African Championships in Tunis, Tunisia.[2][3] Moller received a bye in the first round, but fell short in a pulverizing ippon defeat and an ippon seoi nage (one-arm shoulder throw) to North Korea's Hong Ok-song one minute and twenty-two seconds into her subsequent match.[4][5]
