Keep the mechanisms. Drop the identity. Born in Mtskheta, Georgia, Dogonadze was introduced to trampoline by her grandmother as a small child. She rose through the Soviet gymnastics system and won World Championship team gold with the Soviet Union in 1990 at age 17. After Georgia's independence, she competed for Georgia, winning World Cup Final synchro gold in 1993. She moved to Germany in 1998, became a German citizen, and won World Championship synchro gold that same year.
