Personal life

[edit]

Gymnastics career

[edit]

Schäfer competed at the 2012 Junior European Championships with the German team that placed fifth.[3]

2013

[edit]

Schäfer turned senior in 2013 and made her international debut at the Cottbus World Cup in March. During qualifications, she placed nineteenth on balance beam and ninth on vault, making her the first reserve for the vault final.[4][5] Later that month she competed at the Chemnitz Friendly where she was on a mixed team with compatriot Carina Kröll and Americans Amelia Hundley and Brenna Dowell. They finished fourth as a team. In the all-around, Schäfer finished in eighth place.[6] The following month, Schäfer competed at the Ljubljana World Cup. During qualifications, she placed fourteenth on vault, twelfth on floor, and ninth on balance beam and therefore did not advance to any event finals.[7] In May, she competed at her first German National Championships as a senior elite gymnast. She finished fourth in the all-around behind Elisabeth Seitz, Lisa Katharina Hill, and Kim Bui.[8] During event finals she finished fourth on vault, third on balance beam, and sixth on floor exercise. She then competed at the World Championships, but she did not qualify for any event finals.[9]

2014

[edit]

Schäfer started the season competing at a friendly competition in Munich where she helped Germany place second behind Great Britain. Individually, she placed sixth in the all-around.[10] She was later selected to compete at the European Championships alongside Kim Bui, Çağla Akyol, Sophie Scheder, and Janine Berger. Together they finished fourth in the team final.[11] In August, she competed at the German National Championships where she placed second in the all-around and on floor exercise behind Bui, first on vault and balance beam, and sixth on uneven bars.[12] The following month, Schäfer competed at the Länderkampf Kunstturnen, a friendly competition, where Germany defeated Romania and Switzerland.

In October, Schäfer represented Germany at the 2014 World Championships alongside Bui, Akyol, Lisa Katharina Hill, Elisabeth Seitz, and Scheder. Together they finished ninth during qualifications and were the first reserve for the team final.[14] Although she didn't qualify for any individual finals, Schäfer successfully performed a new element, a sideways salto tucked with ½ turn (180°) take off from one leg to side stand, which was therefore named after her in the Code of Points.[15] In November, Schäfer competed at the DTB Team Challenge where she helped Germany finish first as a team.
