Biography

Gymnast Kathleen Stark finished ninth with the reunified German team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. In the individual all-around she came 32nd and did not reach an apparatus final. Four years later, the team could not qualify for the Games at Atlanta, but Stark participated as an individual athlete and finished 55th.

In total, Stark won six national titles. In 1996 she won the individual all-around, horse vault, balance beam (which she had won in 1993), floor exercise and the uneven bars. She later married team-mate Ralph Kern. Stark then concentrated on study of sports medicine to become a physical therapist.
