Johanna Quaas: - Tendon torn, but the biceps is still there! |
Her biceps tendon demolition in early November (2018) prevented participation in public appearances at the 58th BLUME Festival 2018 in Gran Canaria. But Johanna Quaas did not miss the chance to participate in various workshops in order to restore gradual restorative capacity. "I can do some things better than before, and feel that the physiotherapy and careful moving do me good," said the now 93-year-old senior athlete.
Actually, she is currently not thinking of returning to the gymnastic equipment or even competition exercises. But if anyone speaks about the 100th Jahnturnfest in four years (2022), in the Jahn City of Freyburg / Unstr. (Saxonia Anhalt, near Naumburg) speaks, then a lttle bit shine again her eyes ...: "That would be great, of course, if I would be fit again until then and could participate in my favorite competition for this 100th anniversary ...", so the still active senior athlete said, ...

"... but life has to decide about that!"
At first she is already toying with the mass sports event 2019, the World Gymnaestrada in Dornbirn / Austria ...
"... let's see" ?!
Back from the island of Gran Canaria, where she also had many warm encounters with her gymnastic friends, but also with people who had somehow already seen her any where in the media ... now she changes the club again at home - away from the SV Halle and back to the traditional PostTurnSportVerein Halle, one of the gymnastic clubs founded in the mid-twenties of the last century, in which Johanna was once a member, already.
"I think there is more attention being paid to senior sports here and I will certainly feel comfortable there very quickly!"
