Overview
- The German Gymnastics Federation announced the 28-year-old is moving within Chemnitz from Kay Uwe Temme to Tatjana Bachmayer and Anatol Ashurkov.
- Schäfer-Betz said she needs new impulses and a different training structure to fully focus on her goals.
- She underwent hip surgery in May for persistent problems and missed the home European Championships in Leipzig.
- Bachmayer and Ashurkov coach at TuS Chemnitz-Altendorf, where they have built a strong group around double European champion Karina Schönmaier.
- The move is notable because she left that club in 2020 after allegations against coach Gabriele Frehse, which Frehse denied and which prosecutors later closed without charges.
