About Kasumi Takahashi

  • Kasumi Takahashi is a Japanese-Australian rhythmic gymnast who lives in Los Angeles, California, United States.
  • She was born to a Japanese father and an Australian mother on 6 May 1980 in Tokyo, Japan. She was an overnight success at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, when she took out all five gold medals - ball, rope, clubs, ribbon and the all-around title - setting an Australian record.
  • However, her ribbon victory attracted some protest from the Canadian crowd, many of whom would have liked to see home gymnast Camille Martens rewarded with gold.
  • Kasumi retired from the sport in 1998 after suffering stress fractures in her back.
  • Although she competed for Australia, she trained at the California Academy of Rhythmic Gymnastics.
