Sanne Wevers

Sanne Wevers (born 17 September 1991) is a Dutch artistic gymnast. She is the 2016 Olympic champion on the balance beam and was the first Dutch female gymnast to become an Olympic champion in an individual event. She is the 2018 and 2023 European champion on the balance beam. She is also the 2015 World and 2021 European silver medalist on the balance beam and the 2015 European bronze medalist on the uneven bars. She was a member of the Dutch team that won the bronze medal at the 2018 and 2023 European Championships.

Wevers, primarily an uneven bars and balance beam specialist, has competed internationally for the Netherlands since 2004. She won several medals on the FIG World Cup circuit in 2008 and 2009 before being sidelined with several injuries. Her first major breakthrough came at the 2015 European Championships where she qualified for two event finals and won the uneven bars bronze medal. She followed this up with a balance beam silver medal at the 2015 World Championships and then the gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games. She is known for building up her balance beam difficulty through dance elements and connections rather than acrobatic skills.
