Kira Homeyer (born 1998[1]) is a 14-time world champion in wheel gymnastics and has been an athlete on the German national team since 2012. In total, she has participated in 5 World Championships, winning 15 medals. She has also earned numerous titles at the German National Championships.[2]

Life

As the daughter of two wheel gymnasts, Jürgen Bientzle (brother of Wolfgang Bientzle)[3] and national coach Katja Homeyer[3], the lives of Kira Homeyer and her siblings Marvin Homeyer[4] and Finia Homeyer[5] were shaped by wheel gymnastics from early childhood. From then on, she competed in events and appeared internationally in shows, parades, and other events with her mother Katja Homeyer as a member of Rhönradteam Taunusstein.[6]

At age 15, she became a member of the German national junior team and successfully competed in her first World Championships in Chicago in 2013[7], winning titles in the all-around[8] and vault[9][10]. Two years later at the next World Championships in Lignano, Homeyer won all disciplines, becoming junior world champion in all-around, vault, straight line, and spiral.[2][11]

In the same year at age 17, Homeyer decided to leave the junior division early to compete in the senior division (19+). By winning the all-around at the 54th German National Championships[12], she secured a spot on the German senior national team. At the 2016 World Championships in Cincinnati at age 18, Homeyer won the world title in straight line and silver in the all-around. Additionally, she competed for the German team and won the gold medal in the team World Championship.[2][13]

At the 2018 World Championships in Magglingen, Homeyer was the most successful participant. She won gold in the all-around, straight line, and team event. She also secured silver in vault and bronze in spiral.[2][14]

At the 2024 Word Championships in Magglingen she won gold in the all-around and straight-line.[15]
