Carman qualified for the Slovenian squad in the women's long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[2] A year before the Games, she jumped 6.56 metres to attain both her personal best and an Olympic B-standard at a national athletics meet in Dolenjske Toplice.[3] During the prelims, Carman fouled in two consecutive attempts until she satisfied her final jump with a spanning distance of 5.72 metres, placing her in the thirty-sixth position against a vast field of thirty-nine long jumpers.[5]
