Darja Varfolomeev gives her life for the dream of Olympia

She is still a teenager, but has already reached the sporting Olympus. Gymnast Darya Varfolomeev has endured a lot of loneliness to achieve this.

We first published this portrait on August 4, 2024. On the occasion of Darya Varfolomeev’s success at the Olympic Games in Paris, we have updated the article.

The first word Darja Varfolomeev learned in Germany was “key”. First there was the search for the word, then for the lost object. A girl from her new boarding school class helped her out: “Schl-ü-ssel”. That was in 2019, Darja Varfolomeev was twelve years old and had just arrived in Germany, alone in a strange class, a strange language, a strange life.
