Sven Thomas Goldemann (born June 22, 1969 in Hamburg ) is a German curler .

Goldemann came to curling at the age of twelve through his father. After graduating from high school, he studied business administration and completed an apprenticeship as a banker , later he took up this profession and became an outsourcing specialist. His first start at a major international sporting event dates back to 1996, when he and a team from the Curling Club Hamburg led by Skip John Jahr took part in the world championship in Hamilton , Canada , where he finished eighth. After retiring from curling in the meantime, the Hamburg team initially no longer qualified for international competitions; there, Germany was mostly dated insteadCC Füssen represented by Andreas Kapp .

In 2010, Jahr returned to CC Hamburg and formed a team with Goldemann, Christopher Bartsch , Felix Schulze and Peter Rickmers with the aim of qualifying for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . The following year, Skip Kapp from Füssen resigned and the Hamburg team filled the gap: at the 2011 European Championships it was seventh as a German representative, and eleventh and penultimate place at the 2012 World Cup . In the same year the CC Hamburg missed the internal qualification for the European championship; there the CC Füssen competed with the new Skip Andreas Lang and after a bad result was relegated from the A group. For this reason, the Hamburg team first had to compete in the B-EM in the winter of 2013/14, which it won without defeat, and then contest an Olympic qualification tournament in Füssen in mid-December 2013 to get a starting place for the games in Secure Sochi. The team from CC Hamburg also won this tournament despite two initial defeats and was accordingly nominated by the DOSB for the German Olympic team in the first round of nominations on December 18, 2013 . Goldemann played there with Jahr, Schulze and Bartsch. The team could only win one of their nine games and came in tenth and last place. At the 2014 World Cup , he came in eighth.
