[ru] Гербер, Макси

Макси Гербер[1], (нем. Maxi Herber, 8 октября 1920 года, Мюнхен — 20 октября 2006 года, Гармиш-Партенкирхен, Германия) — немецкая фигуристка, ставшая олимпийской чемпионкой в 1936 году в парном катании с Эрнстом Байером. Дуэт был первым, исполнившим параллельный прыжок на соревнованиях. Гербер — самая молодая олимпийская чемпионка по фигурному катанию в истории зимних Олимпийских игр, выигравшая их в возрасте 15 лет 4 месяцев и 5 дней. Этот возрастной рекорд по нынешним правилам уже невозможно побить, так как фигуристы допускаются к зимним Олимпийским играм не раньше возраста 15 лет 5 месяцев. В целом Гербер является самой юной чемпионкой из Европы в истории зимних Олимпийских игр, моложе её за всю историю только корейские шорт-трекистки Ким Юн Ми и Вон Хе Гён, которые побили рекорд Гербер в 1994 году.
