In March 2009, Hemmer broke her own national record in the 10000 m, improving the time from 14:50.52 to 14:47.49. The feat was carried out just hours after having skated the 5000 m in 7:13.50, making her one of the few skaters ever who have run both the 5000 m and 10000 m on the same day. The time is still the current Norwegian record.

As of April 2011, Hemmer is the 3rd best ever Norwegian female skater, as per the Adelskalender, after Maren Haugli and Ida Njåtun. Her rank on the international Adelskalender, as of after the 2010–11 season, is 46.
