career path
In the summer of 2017, Kenzel obtained his technical college entrance qualification in "Sports and Club Management" at the Johann Friedrich von Cotta Commercial School, a vocational college and an elite sports school in Stuttgart . She is a member of the Bundeswehr sports promotion group .
Athletic career
In her childhood, Alina Kenzel played handball like her parents . After their separation, the 13-year-old decided to practice another sport, choosing athletics, especially since she had already gone to athletics training in addition to handball. Throwing disciplines quickly emerged as their particular strength. In 2011, as a 14-year-old, Kenzel was first in the shot put with 15.30 m and second in the javelin throw with 42.31 m and fourth in the discus throw with 36.29 m in the DLV's annual best list . Because of a torn biceps tendon, she turned away from throwing the javelin. In 2012, Kenzel was second in the shot put and third with the discus on the 15-year-olds best of the year.
From 2013 onwards, the shot putter was present every year at an international high point in the junior classes and also competed successfully in discus throwing in the youth field.
At the German Indoor Championships 2017 in the Arena Leipzig , Kenzel finished second behind Christina Schwanitz with 17.28 m . At the German Championships 2017 , she took third place behind Sara Gambetta and Josephine Terlecki with a width of 16.76 m.
At the German Indoor Championships 2018 in the Helmut-Körnig-Halle in Dortmund , Kenzel was able to secure the German indoor championship title with a width of 17.37 m.
In 2019 Kenzel reached eighth place at the European Indoor Championships and was European champion in the outdoor season at the U23 European Championships in Gävle, Sweden .
Kenzel is a member of the perspective squad of the German Athletics Association (DLV) .
With a height of 1.81 m, Kenzel has a competition weight of 84 kg.
