Sebastian Sponevik (born March 15, 2005) is an artistic gymnast on the Norwegian national team.[8] He is a three-time Norwegian junior champion (2020-2022) and has represented Norway in the 2019 and 2022 Nordic Championships, as well as the 2022 European Olympic Youth Festival.[1]

Junior career

2019

In 2019, the Norwegian Gymnastics Federation (NGTF) required gymnasts competing at national events on a junior level to turn 14 the year the event was held.[9] Thus, Sponevik debuted as a junior at the first of three competitions in the Norwegian Cup that year. He came in third at the event, with a score of 70.250.[10]

2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most competitions in the 2020 season were cancelled, including the first two events in the Norwegian Cup. Therefore, the only national appearances Sponevik made, were the 2020 junior Norwegian championship in Tromsø, and the third event in the Norwegian Cup.[11] He won the All-Around competition at both events with 75.950 and 75.683 points respectively.[12]

2021

Being plagued by injuries[13] in his tibia and wrists, Sponevik was unable to compete at competitions in early 2021. After recovering from his injuries, Sponevik went on to win the 2021 Norwegian championship at Sotra with a score of 74.500.[14]

2022

Sponevik competed at the 2022 junior Norwegian championship in Kabelvåg, during which he took home every possible gold medal; All-Around, apparatus finals, and the team competition.[15]

He also competed at the 2022 International Junior Team Cup in Berlin[16], and the 2022 European Olympic Youth Festival under the guidance of national team coach Robert Hirsch. At the latter competition, Sponevik attained an eighth place in the All-Around competition, and a sixth place in the floor finals.[17][18]

Senior career

Though only 17 years old at the time, Sponevik competed as a senior at the 2022 Norwegian Championship in Elverum, making it his debut as a senior. At the event, which was held in June 2022, Sponevik secured a bronze for his All-Around performance, along with two gold, a silver, and a bronze in the apparatus finals.[19]
