At almost five-foot-six, German
gymnast Antonia Alicke will literally stand out among her fellow competitors at
this year’s Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China. She’s almost five-foot-six,
As the tallest gymnast of the
competition, whose height is matched only by that of Tunisia’s Rahma Mastouri,
she is sure to be noticed by spectators and judges alike, thanks to her long
lines and precise movements.
Antonia broke onto the German junior
gymnastics scene in 2010 when she won the “new talent” championships as an
11-year-old. She has placed third in the all-around at German Junior Nationals
in her age group for four consecutive years, along with winning several event
medals every year.
In April 2014, Antonia kicked
off her competition season by winning the team title at a junior friendly
between teams from Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, and Germany. One
month later, she placed second all-around at the Deutschland Pokal competition
in the 13 to 15 age group.
