Willi Jaschek

The West German men’s gymnastics team placed eighth at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics in the team all-around event. Team member Willi Jaschek came in 107th in the individual all-around due to a broken foot that he sustained on his first event, the floor exercise. His best result in the single competitions was a 16th place on pommelled horse.

Domestically he earned 32 West German podium places, among them four all-around titles, with two individual titles each on pommelled horse, rings, and parallel bars. He later worked as a gymnastics coach in Frankfurt as a side job. By profession, Jaschek was employed by a neon sign producer, where he trained as an electrician, and later became managing director and shareholder, before retiring in 2009.
