Edvard Antosiewicz, also Antonijevič, (born 24 December 1902 in Ljubljana, Austro-Hungarian Empire, died 4 January 1960 in Hot Springs, Arkansas, United States)[1] was a Slovenian gymnast, competing for Yugoslavia.
From a young age, Antosiewicz was an active member of the Slovenian Sokol athletics movement. He represented Yugoslavia at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He won a bronze medal with the men's all-around team, together with Stane Derganc, Dragutin Ciotti, Boris Gregorka, Anton Malej, Janez Porenta, Jože Primožič, and Leon Štukelj. In addition, he competed individually in all the men's disciplines. He finished 26th in individual all-around, 21st in horse vault, 38th in parallel bars, 36th in horizontal bar, 11th in rings, and 36th in pommel horse.[2]
In the years following, Antosiewicz participated at the 1930 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Luxembourg, where he won 3rd place with the Yugoslavia team and finished 15th in individual all-around. Yugoslavia did not participate at the 1932 Summer Olympics and also missed the 1934 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships because of political tensions with Hungary. Antosiewicz entered the national trials for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin but was outperformed by younger gymnasts and did not earn a place in the national team.[1] Nevertheless, he went to Berlin as a sport referee and was a referee at the horse vault competition.
During the Second World War, Antosiewicz remained active in the Sokol movement. In the last years of the war, he was imprisoned in Ljubljana and then sent to Dachau concentration camp. At the end of the war, he was rescued by American forces. After having recovered, he lived and worked in Munich, Kobarid, and Trieste. In Trieste, his daughter met and married an American doctor and moved with him to Arkansas, United States. Antosiewicz followed them with his wife and son in 1949. He died there in 1960 and is burried in Jonesboro.[1]
