She represented her country at the Summer Olympics on three occasions (1972–1980) and was a finalist each time (twice placing fifth).

Her world record was matched and later beaten by Yordanka Donkova.

Rabsztyn's then world record time gives her the eleventh place in the all-time list of 100 m hurdlers.

Her personal best remains the Polish record for the event Rabsztyn never won an outdoor Olympic, World or European medal.

She was a two-time 60 metres hurdles champion at the European Athletics Indoor Championships and was silver medallist in the event on four more occasions.
