In the early 1970s, Knape together with her coach, Gunnel Weinås, enjoyed major success not only nationally (winning 38 national Swedish titles), but also internationally: being crowned World Platform Diver of the Year from 1972 to 1974 and winning Olympic gold and silver at the 1972 games and a silver at the 1976 games.
