Skin boosters: enough sleep, perfume free skin care and not too much make up. In competition is always use a lot of hairspray but in training I use many hair clips to fix my hair.
Recently, the Stuttgart World Cup and the Birmingham World Cup were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. How do you plan for future competitions?
It’s not an easy situation – for nobody. But I try to stay focused and try not to lose sight of the Olympic Games next year.
Namita Nayyar:
Your most memorable moment in your professional career?
Elisabeth Seitz:
It definitely was the moment I realised I won the Bronze Medal on Bars at the World Championships 2018 in Doha. Those were my 8th World Championships and I my biggest dream had always been a medal at worlds (Especially after I became 4th at the Olympics)
Namita Nayyar:
Five tips to work upon while preparing to become a professional gymnast.
Elisabeth Seitz:
I just have one big tip: Do it because you love it, not because someone else wants you to do it.
Namita Nayyar:
You were unable to train for five weeks in mid-2019 after undergoing four operations. Tell us about your resting regime to gain your strength back? Why is it so important?
Elisabeth Seitz:
I had 4 surgeries between 2010-2017 on my feet. After every surgery i had to take breaks for more than 5 weeks. But after a surgery I always set new goals – most of the time it was to walk again and a few weeks or month later to train again. But a break never means to rest or relax. I always tried to work on other things I could do this time. It’s important to never stopdoing anything to get back in shape easier.
Namita Nayyar:
With the current outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, what is your current home workout routine? Share a short note on strength for those unable to handle this situation.
Elisabeth Seitz:
Fortunately, since the end of April I have been allowed to go to my training hall once a week. Before that, I mainly did a lot of exercises in the fresh air. Many exercises with your own body weight, but also a little dumbbell training was included. Running was and is important. Exercise is the basis for good physical fitness.
Namita Nayyar:

Elisabeth Seitz:
