Former gymnast Philipp Boy has proven time and time again that he can conquer any physical challenge. With his exceptional athleticism and a career spanning over a decade, the retired sportsman has now set his sights on the dance floor.
This year, Boy is set to appear on Germany’s popular dance show “Let’s Dance” with his professional partner, Patricija Ionel. In the second live show, the duo danced the jive and impressively scored 29 points from the judges. Commentators can’t wait to see what Boy and Ionel have in store for their next performance.
Born in Schwedt/Oder, Germany, in 1987, Boy discovered his love for gymnastics at the age of five. After joining TSV Blau Weiß 65 Schwedt, his talent and dedication quickly began to shine. Throughout his career, Boy’s numerous accolades included a bronze medal at the 2007 World Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart and fourth place at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
In 2016, Philipp Boy entered the world of television, taking part in “Dance Dance Dance” where he emerged victorious in the final round. He has since appeared on a number of other shows, including “Ewige Helden” and “Team Ninja Warrior Promi Special”, constantly showcasing his sporting prowess.
Over the years, Boy’s injuries, sustained through his gymnastics career, have begun to take their toll, but that has not stopped him from proving his mettle time and again. In 2022, he won the “RTL high diving” competition, which is yet another feather in his cap.
The new challenge on the horizon for Boy is “Let’s Dance” in 2023, where audiences will be eager to watch him navigate the dance floor with finesse and the expertise of a seasoned athlete.
With his infectious energy and can-do spirit, Philipp Boy proves time and time again that he has what it takes to achieve greatness in any field he chooses.
