BIO

Anya Kisskalt began her Taekwondo career at the age of 6 in Thailand. At 9 years old, she moved with her family to Nuremberg and joined the Taekwondo Elite Nuremberg. Just three years later, she made her debut in the Cadet National Team and gained her first international experience at competitions across Europe. In 2015, at only 14 years old, she won a bronze medal at the Cadet World Championships. In 2019, she secured the title at the German Championships in the under-18 age category and qualified for the European Youth Championships, where she also achieved a bronze medal. In subsequent years, she earned a silver medal at the U21 European Championships in 2022, a bronze at the European Games in 2023, and another bronze at the European Championships in 2024. One of her most significant achievements to date is the bronze medal at the Chengdu 2023 FISU World University Games. She has also been part of the German Taekwondo Federation’s Development Squad for several years.

My greatest sporting highlight so far was winning the bronze medal at the 2023 World University Games in Chengdu. The atmosphere in the competition hall was simply overwhelming. It was an incredible feeling to compete against so many talented athletes from around the world and to stand on the podium at the end. This moment showed me that all the hart training pays off and motivates me to continue giving my best. Anya Kisskalt
