Radomyr Stelmakh gymnastics career transition

Overview

Radomyr Stelmakh, a Ukrainian-born gymnast who moved to Germany following the Russian invasion, has transitioned to representing the German national team.

In July 2026, after receiving German citizenship, Stelmakh won three gold medals—in the all-around, high bar, and parallel bars—at the German National Championships in Hannover.

Following these victories, Stelmakh made his competitive debut for Germany at the European Gymnastics Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, in August 2026. This marked his return to major competition after a two-year hiatus.
