Live and act

Wolf-Hendrik Beyer began his career at LG Hilden, but shortly afterwards switched to LG Bayer Leverkusen , where he stayed until the end of his career. Training partners like Carlo Thränhardt and Heike Henkel and especially his trainer Gerd Osenberg helped him to a successful career.

At the German Championships in Munich in 1992, which was also the qualifying competition for participation in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, ​​Beyer and Ralf Sonn prevailed over Dietmar Mögenburg and Carlo Thränhardt with 2.32 m each . Sonn, Beyer and Mögenburg were nominated for the 1992 Olympic Games.

In 1994 Beyer reached third place at the European Indoor Championships in Paris with a jump of 2.33 m and jumped his personal indoor record of 2.38 m at the high jump meeting in Weinheim. This achievement is still the German indoor junior record (U23) and fourth place in the all-time German indoor best list. Beyer achieved his best outdoor result at the German Championships in 1993 in the Wedaustadion in Duisburg with a jump of 2.33 m. This puts him in ninth place in the all-time German best list.

Beyer ended his career in 1996 because he himself had the feeling that he had achieved what he could with the 2.38 meters jumped. With a height of 2.00 meters, his competition weight was 89 kilograms.

In 2006 Beyer tried a comeback. At the end of 2006, he began advanced training with his former trainer Gerd Osenberg in Leverkusen, until a meniscus tear in his right knee forced him to finally end his high jump career in September 2007 .

Beyer has been married since 2006 and has one son. He is the godfather of “SMS. Be clever. Take part. Be fit. ” , An initiative of the German Diabetes Center in Düsseldorf.
