Anna Aleksandre Dogonadze ( Georgian ანა დოღონაძე , transcribed Ana Doghonadze ; born February 15, 1973 in Mzcheta , Georgian SSR ) is a former German trampoline gymnast of Georgian origin.

Anna Dogonadze lives near Koblenz and trained at MTV Bad Kreuznach . She is a qualified sports teacher by profession . Dogonadze has had German citizenship since 1998 .

Her greatest success was the 2004 Olympic gold medal in Athens . Four years earlier at the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 , she had to accept falling back from first place in the preliminary to eighth place in the final after a feverish cold. At the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 , weakened by illness, she again reached 8th place.

For her Olympic victory in 2004 she received the silver laurel leaf on March 16, 2005 .

After the games, Dogonadze took a creative break, but then slowly caught up with the world's best in 2009. At the World Cup events in 2010 and 2011, she again achieved placements among the top ten. Together with her partner Jessica Simon she won the dubbing title at the 2011 World Championships in Birmingham . At the European Championships 2012 in Saint Petersburg , Dogonadze and Simon won the bronze medal in synchronized gymnastics. In the internal elimination of the DTB for the 2012 Olympic Games in London , Dogonadze qualified for the games for the fourth time. At the Olympic Games, however, she was denied the desired final of the top eight with a tenth place in the qualification. Because of the recurring back problems, she decided to end her career after the Olympic competition. The planned start at the World Games 2013 in Cali , together with her dubbing partner Jessica Simon, was therefore obsolete.

Anna Dogonadze concentrated on her professional development after her sporting career. Since May 1, 2013, she has been a full-time trainer at MTV Bad Kreuznach and, together with her long-time trainer Steffen Eislöffel, has been responsible for promoting the trampoline at the Olympic base in Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland. She also works as an integration ambassador for the German Olympic Sports Confederation . After only one year of activity, she ended her coaching career on March 31, 2014 at MTV Bad Kreuznach and the Olympic training center in Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland.

From May 2014, Dogonadze focused on orthopedics, sports analysis, rehabilitation technology, lymphology and prosthetics to promote health and recovery in therapy. Since 2015 she had offered her programs part-time in the segment of personal training, company fitness, health training, mental training and competition preparation and motivation, and from June 2016 in self-employment. In August 2016 she passed the exam for the interdisciplinary A and B trainer license of the DTB in Frankfurt am Main. From January 2017, Dogonadze was active as a freelance trainer for the Austrian Gymnastics Association. The commitment ended on January 31, 2018, and Dogonadze moved to the Swiss Association as a junior coach.

Dogonadze was married to the trampoline gymnast Axel Lilkendey . During competitions she was sometimes called Dogonadze-Lilkendey. She is the mother of a daughter.
