bars World Champions all |
German |
In the history book
of this apparatus,
Gertrud Kolar
from Austria and
Ann-Sofie
Petterson
from Sweden were the first World Champions, the Polish
Helena
Rakoczy
achieved the third place in 1950 in Basel. Two more Austrians,
Schramm (5.)
and
Ruckser
(6.), were also in this very first uneven bars final at World
Championships.

After that, Hungarian (Keleti) and Soviet (Latynina,
Perwukhina) gymnasts
dominated this apparatus, but with the victory of the German
Karin Janz
(1970) a dominance of the GDR gymnasts started and lasted for almost two
decades.
They gained the World Champion’s title at the “double
horizontal bar” seven times- with
Annelore Zinke
(1974), three times
Maxi Gnauck
(1979-1983),
Gabriele Faehnrich
and
Doerthe Thuemmler, only
once interrupted by
Marcia Frederick
(USA) in1978 in Strasbourg.
Romania, the USA and
China were the dominating nations afterwards until
Swetlana Khorkina, starting in 1995, climbed the throne of the uneven bars
queen five times in a row, but in 2002 came
Courney Kupets,
nine years after the last American success of
Shannon Miller....but
than came the double winners of Anaheim
Chellsie Memmel
and
Holie Vise...and 2005 followed the fifth u.bars champion, coming from USA!
Beth Tweddle
won the very first title for Great Britain in Aarhus 2006 and
after Khorkina in Stuttgart 2007 Ksenia
SEMENOWA
won the title for Russia again.
15 years after LUO, Li Olympic Champion
HE, Kexin won the next Gold for China in London 2009... |
