'''Doris Gudrun Fuchs''' (later ''Brause'', born June 11, 1938) is a retired American gymnast who won four gold medals at the [[1963 Pan American Games]].

==Biography==
Doris Fuchs was born in Villingen im Schwarzwald, [[Baden-Württemberg]] in 1938.  She and her family came to the United States in 1951 when she was 12, living in [[Greece, New York]] near [[Rochester, New York|Rochester]].<ref name="dandc" />

Fuchs competed in all [[artistic gymnastics]] events at the [[1956 Summer Olympics|1956]] and [[1960 Summer Olympics]] and finished ninth with the American team three times: all-around in both games and in the [[Gymnastics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Women's team portable apparatus|team portable apparatus]] in 1956. Her best individual result was eighth place on [[uneven bars]] in 1960.<ref name=sr/>  Fuchs attended the [[1963 Pan American Games]] in Sao Paulo, and earned three individual gold medals there as well as a fourth gold medal from the USA winning the women's team competition.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://usagym.org/pages/pressbox/history/panam_results_artistic.html |title=Men's and Women's Pan American Games Results |access-date=2021-11-18 |archive-date=2015-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402170930/https://usagym.org/pages/pressbox/history/panam_results_artistic.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  Fuchs attended the 1964 Olympics as a reserve.<ref name=nikonorov/>  This attracted minor controversy, as the coach trusted one of his own gymnasts to be put on the main team over Fuchs despite Fuchs having higher scores in qualifying.<ref name="dandc" />  At the [[1966 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships]] in West Germany, Fuchs performed a well-regarded and innovative uneven bars event.  While the crowd approved, she received low scores from the judges and did not medal.<ref name="dandc">[https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/2015/07/08/rocjocks-olympic-gymnast-doris-fuchs/29875029/ RocJocks: Olympian Doris Fuchs changed gymnastics]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150414002753/https://www.insidegymnastics.com/content/show/newsarticle.aspx?articleid=1962&zoneid=1 10 ROUTINES THAT CHANGED GYMNASTICS FOREVER]</ref>  In 1982 she was inducted into the U.S. Gymnastics Hall of Fame.<ref name=hall/>

Besides gymnastics, Fuchs trained in the [[javelin throw]] and [[triple jump]]. Her sister Inge was also an international gymnast.<ref name=hall/> At the 1960 Olympics Fuchs became friends with the Soviet boxer [[Boris Nikonorov]]. She visited Nikonorov's family in 1963, when the U.S. gymnastics team had a competition in Moscow and had a long correspondence by mail, exchanging gifts and love letters, which was intercepted and suppressed by the [[KGB]]. Soviet authorities threatened Nikonorov with repercussions if he didn't stop communicating with Fuchs, and after a long struggle, he was forced to oblige.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://weekend.rambler.ru/people/42670014-ih-svela-olimpiada-i-razluchil-kgb/|title = Их свела Олимпиада и разлучил КГБ}}</ref><ref name=nikonorov/>  Fuchs would eventually marry her coach instead, Eckhard Brause.<ref name="dandc" />
