Career

Hindermann won four medals at the 2006 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships in the junior category: a silver on vault and bronzes in team, all-around, and uneven bars.[2]

At the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, she finished 14th in the all-around and 5th on uneven bars.

At the 2008 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Hindermann helped the German team finish 7th. She competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in all artistic gymnastics events except for vault. In qualifications, she helped the German team finish in 12th place. Her best individual result was 55th place in the all-around.[3]

At 5 feet 7 inches tall in 2008, Hindermann is the tallest female gymnast to ever compete in the Olympic Games, followed by Belarusian gymnast Kylie Dickson and German gymnast Sophie Scheder at 5 feet 6 inches. Hindermann is currently 5 feet 9 inches. Being unusually tall for a female gymnast, she required adjustments of the uneven bars during her career that caused delays at international competitions.[1]

She retired from competitive gymnastics in December 2012.[2]
