Philipp Boy

Philipp Boy is a former German artistic gymnast, born on 23 July 1987 in Schwedt in what was then East Germany. He was a member of the German men's teams that won bronze medals at the World Championships in 2007 and 2010, and he took silver in the individual all-around at the 2010 and 2011 World Championships, finishing behind Kohei Uchimura in 2011. In 2011 he also won the European all-around title and a silver medal on high bar, and at the Tokyo World Championships his high bar routine scored 16.066, the highest score recorded on that apparatus. He competed for Germany at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, although the two-per-country rule kept him out of the 2012 all-around final. He announced his retirement on 1 December 2012 and later appeared as a contestant on Ninja Warrior Germany and its celebrity edition.
