BALIAN BUSCHBAUM

Balian Buschbaum was initially known as Yvonne Buschbaum back in the days and just like Caitlyn Jenner, he was once a well-decorated athlete. Buschbaum was one of the top pole vaulters not only in Germany but in the world. He even competed for the Olympic Games and won a couple of gold chips in the past competitions she participated. Unfortunately, even with the help of his medical insurance, Buschbaum’s career was still troubled with injuries that eventually caused her to give up his sports aspirations.

His sports journey came into an end in 2007 but that paved the way for him to transition from a female to male. Ultimately, in 2008, she underwent gender reassignment surgery that eventually completed her wonderful transformation.
