Documented path
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.
Born in Mtskheta, Georgia (then Soviet Union); grandmother introduced her to trampoline as a small child; rose through the Soviet gymnastics system.
Retired from competitive trampoline after the 2012 Olympics; works as a sports teacher, coach, and personal trainer in Bad Kreuznach, Germany; 2004 Olympic champion and four-time World champion.
Where the conditions came from
Each is placed on a −1 to 3 scale from documented evidence, and the three are never added together. A combined total would rank Anna Dogonadze against other people. Held apart, they explain why this path ran differently from another one—which is the only comparison this project supports.
The marble itself
+1Tailwind
What capability, drive, or early skill is documented in the person rather than their surroundings?
Introduced to trampoline by grandmother as a toddler. Won World Championship team gold with Soviet Union at 17. Natural aptitude for trampoline developed from very early childhood, though trampoline is a niche sport with smaller competitive pool.
Where it was dropped
+1Tailwind
What money, family standing, network, or permission was already in place before the work began?
Grandmother introduced her to trampoline as a small child. Aunt was director of an acrobatics school. Family connections to gymnastics/acrobatics provided early access. Born in Mtskheta, Georgia — modest background.
The shape of the track
+2Tailwind
What place, timing, institution, or peer group made the next step available?
Soviet Union's elite gymnastics pipeline provided world-class training and competitive infrastructure. Won World Championship team gold at 17 in 1990. After Soviet collapse, moved to Germany in 1998, where MTV Kreuznach club provided new training base. Migration expanded competitive opportunities.
A −1 is a documented headwind, not a missing value; a 0 means the sources record nothing notable either way. Annotation confidence: Medium. These are analyst readings of what the sources record, not measurements of merit, talent, or effort. The twenty-two scored dimensions remain available inside the deeper research detail.
What moved through the conditions
This records repeated behaviour or recovery described by sources; it is not a grit or merit score.
This is an unchosen opening or condition in the record, not an estimate of how much luck caused the outcome.
Strongest documented signals: Elite institution pipeline, Direct domain exposure, Parent / family domain.
Describes the starting position, not what the person later made of it.
Strongest observed levers: Domain proximity, Started serious reps before 20, Prior reps.
Measures what was present, not whether it was inherited, earned, self-built, external, or mixed.
The timeline below shows the sequence of work and transitions around the selected early milestone. It is evidence of a path, not proof that every step was necessary.
Dominant figure at the top of a field. The tier summarizes documented career recognition through the data cutoff—not Anna Dogonadze's worth or future potential.
Question four · where did the leverage come from?
Each non-zero lever gets a best-supported origin, evidence signals, and confidence. Unresolved is the honest default when the biography cannot distinguish self-built, advantage-enabled, earned, external, or mixed.
One or more documented starting advantages plausibly enabled this lever.

A structural wave is external to the person, even when their position improved access to it.
This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Anna Dogonadze's outcome attributable to any origin.
Structural luck, Encounter luck, Event luck, Outcome variance can change every arrow in the path. This successful-only dataset cannot observe the near-identical paths that did not break through, so luck stays visible and unscored.
Multiplying capacity documented later in the path. Measures what was present, not whether it was inherited, earned, self-built, external, or mixed.
Access or conditions documented near the beginning of the path. Zero means "no clear evidence in reviewed sources," not "advantage was absent."
Born in Mtskheta, Georgia (then Soviet Union). Her grandmother introduced her to trampoline as a small child. She moved to Germany in 1998 for personal reasons (marriage to her former coach), leaving her family behind in Georgia.
Grandmother introduced her to trampoline gymnastics at a very young age in Georgia, which was the entry point to her entire career. No further family domain background documented.
Dogonadze was introduced to trampoline by her grandmother as a toddler and benefited from the Soviet Union's elite gymnastics pipeline. She won World Championship team gold at 17 in 1990. After the Soviet collapse, she competed for Georgia before moving to Germany in 1998, where she continued her career at the highest level. Her early childhood immersion in trampoline through the Soviet system was the dominant advantage, with no documented family financial resources.
