Dagmar Kersten is a German former gymnast. She represented East Germany at the 1988 Olympic Games, winning a silver medal on the uneven bars, and a bronze medal in the team event. In 1985, she won four medals at the World Championships, including silver on the bars and bronze in the all-around. She was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit. After German reunification, Kersten moved to Stuttgart and worked at the Swabian Gymnastics Federation. Until 2002 she coached the German junior team. Later she worked as a speaker of the Lower Saxony Gymnastics Federation and a coach for an acrobatic show, which included her daughter Alina. She also holds second dan in taekwondo and teaches martial arts. Her son Erik is a taekwondo practitioner.
The youngest child in the play "I Remember Mama" is named Dagmar. It is a play about a family of Norwegian immigrants. In 9th grade, I had that role in the school play because I was petite with long blond hair. (I'm still petite, but the hair is shorter.)
