Pia Hoffmann (born 14 September 2006) is a German taekwondo poomsae athlete and two-time European medalist.[1]

Career

[edit]

Hoffmann started practising the Korean martial arts taekwondo in 2013 at the age of seven and trains at Bergstrasse Bensheim Taekwondo Club in Hessen, Germany.[2]

In 2019, Hoffmann took part in her first international competition, the Belgian Open Poomsae in Hasselt, where she took third place in the individual cadet competition in traditional poomsae.[3][4]

At the 2020 World Championships, she reached the semi-finals with a seventh place in the preliminary round, but did not qualify for the next round due to placing tenth in the semi-finals. The competition was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]

In 2022, she took part in the World Poomsae Championships in Goyang, where she placed fifth with Ana Catalina Pohl and Helena Silberhorn in the junior's traditional forms team competition.[7]

At cadet and junior level, Hoffmann became German champion four times, runner-up once, and bronze medallist once. She won her first German senior championship title with the freestyle team in 2022.[4]

At the 2023 European Championships in Innsbruck, Hoffmann won a bronze medal in the individual junior competition and, as part of the mixed team (consisting of five team members, at least two men and two women), a silver medal in the seniors' freestyle competition alongside teammates Ana Catalina Pohl, Leah Lawall, Jules Berger and Julius Müller.[8][9]

In 2024, Hoffmann competed for the first time as an individual senior at the Bulgaria Open in Sofia and claimed the silver medal in the women's traditional poomsae competition.[4]
