Dörte Thümmler (born 29 October 1971) is a German former gymnast. She competed for the SC Dynamo Berlin / Sportvereinigung (SV) Dynamo, and competed for East Germany. She won many international competitions.[1][2] In 1987, she was World Champion on the uneven bars (tied with Daniela Silivaș).
Thümmler's career was ended at the age of 16 from back pain.[3] She worked as a restaurant clerk, but had to retire at age 38 due to ill health, in part caused by the effects of forced state-sponsored doping.[3][4] Her stepfather, Manfred Thümmler, was head of sports medicine at SC Dynamo Berlin and a defendant in a 1999 doping trial, though his charges were dropped.[3]
