Life

Yvonne Haug began performance-based gymnastics when she was eight when she joined the OSC Berlin and its well-known "Amselriege". At her first start in the German championship (students) in November 1977 in Nienburg / Weser, she finished 14th in the all-around as the youngest of all participants. The first major success was the 1979 German championship in the schoolgirls class. A year later she was able to book the championship in the next higher class, the youth class. Here she won the all-around competition as well as jumping and on the ground.

In November 1981, the then almost 15-year-old took part in the World Cup in Moscow as the youngest German gymnast , where she reached 9th place with the team and made it to the final of the 36 best gymnasts in the individual evaluation, where she finished 32nd.

Yvonne Haug entered the German elite class for the first time in June 1982 and became German champion in eight combat and on the ground. She also took 3rd place on the uneven bars and 4th place on the balance beam. This success was all the more remarkable as that shortly before, in May of the same year, she had survived a traffic accident with the moped, although she did not suffer any serious injuries.

In the course of 1982, her performance continued to improve, including winning the individual competition in Germany against Hungary on November 27, 1982. At the end of the year, she was voted Berlin's Sportswoman of the Year in the Berliner Morgenpost's annual reader survey.

In May 1983, Yvonne Haug took part in the European Championships in Gothenburg / Sweden and was the best German with 16th place in the all-around event, together with Anja Wilhelm . At the German Championships in mid-1983, she won four out of five possible titles, in the eight-fight and on the individual devices.

At the World Gymnastics Championships in Budapest in 1983 , which also qualified for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles , Yvonne Haug was the best German and best Western European gymnast in 19th place behind the Eastern Bloc gymnasts, who were undisputed at the top at the time . So she played a big part in the fact that the German gymnastics team could qualify with 8th place for the 1984 Olympics.

At the end of 1983 she was again voted Berlin's Sportswoman of the Year.

After quarrels with the national gymnastics coach Vladimir Prorok and the DTB top, Haug resigned from active competitive sport in March 1984. So she no longer took part in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
