Career edit
Adina Machwirth began practising the Korean martial art of taekwondo in 2010 after initially training in ballet for three years. Machwirth competed in her first major international competition at the 2019 European Poomsae Championships in Antalya. There, she became European champion in the discipline of traditional forms with the cadet team (three-person team, female). She also competed in the freestyle pairs competition and the pairs competition in traditional poomsae, but did not reach the podium in those categories.[2]
In 2021, Machwirth took part in the European Poomsae Championships in Seixal, Portugal, finishing sixth in the junior women's freestyle competition and fifth in the freestyle pairs competition.[3] At the 2022 World Championships in Goyang, Machwirth won a bronze medal in the junior's individual freestyle competition.[4][5]
At cadet and junior level, Machwirth has been German champion four times, runner-up three times and bronze medallist four times. She has been competing at senior level since 2023. In 2023, she became German champion in the senior's individual Recognized Poomsae competition as well as vice champion in the women's freestyle competition, behind teammate Leah Lawall.[6]
At the 2023 European Championships in Innsbruck, Machwirth competed alongside teammate Anna Siepmann in the women's individual competition. She won the first round against Camille La Cour from Denmark, but lost to Eva Sandersen in the round of 16, finishing ninth.[7] Machwirth also finished sixth in the individual freestyle competition at these European Championships.[8][9]
