Philipp Herder (born 21 October 1992) is a German former artistic gymnast who represented Germany at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Herder began gymnastics when he was seven years old. In 2011, Herder had a neck injury that required surgery to replace a disk with two fused vertebrae, and he temporarily retired from the sport, but he returned at the 2014 World Championships.[1] There, he helped Germany qualify for the team final in sixth place,[3] but he did not compete in the final.[4] After the World Championships, he competed at the Toyota International and won a bronze medal on the parallel bars.[5] Herder competed at the 2015 World Championships and helped the German team finish ninth in the qualification round.[6]
Herder competed at the 2016 Olympic Test Event and won the gold medal with the German team which allowed Germany to send a full team to the 2016 Olympic Games.[7][8] He also competed at the 2016 European Championships and helped Germany finish fifth.[9] Herder was selected as an alternate for Germany's 2016 Olympic team.[10]
Herder finished tenth in the all-around final at the 2017 European Championships.[11] That year, he also advanced to the all-around final at the World Championships and finished 18th.[12]
Herder finished fourth in the all-around at the 2018 American Cup.[13] He competed with the German team that finished tenth at the 2018 World Championships, making them the second reserve for the team final.[14] In May 2019, Herder re-injured his neck during training but only had to take a few weeks off.[10] He was still selected for the 2019 World Championships team in Stuttgart.[15] The German team finished 12th in the qualification round and earned a berth for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[16]
Herder was selected to represent Germany at the 2020 Summer Olympics alongside Lukas Dauser, Nils Dunkel, and Andreas Toba.[10][17] The team qualified for the team final and finished in eighth place.[18] Individually, Herder advanced to the all-around final and finished 23rd.[19]
On 24 October 2022, Herder announced his retirement from international elite gymnastics but said he still planned on competing in the Bundesliga.[2]
