Lieke Wevers (born 17 September 1991) is a Dutch artistic gymnast. She competed internationally as a senior from 2009 to 2016. She was the first Dutch woman to win a European title in gymnastics: at the 2015 European Games, she won the gold medal on the balance beam and was the bronze medalist with the Dutch team, in the individual all-around final, and on floor exercise. She also competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Wevers was born on 17 September 1991, in Leeuwarden. She is six minutes younger than her fraternal twin, Sanne, who is an Olympic gold medalist. They are both members of the Dutch national gymnastics team and are coached by their father, Vincent.
In 1992, Wevers and her family moved to Oldenzaal. When she was 12, she and her sister started training with their father at a local club in Dronrijp. The family later moved to Twente, and the twins started training at Top Gymnastics Eastern Netherlands (Dutch: Topturnen Oost-Nederland). Her parents helped turn it into a high-level sports facility called BosanTON. In 2013, Vincent Wevers had an argument with the management of the facility and was fired. Ultimately, the twins moved with their father to Heerenveen to train, while their mother stayed in Oldenzaal.
Lieke studies psychology and speaks Dutch, English, German, and French.
