Alfred August Jochim (June 12, 1902 – March 17, 1980)[1] was an American gymnast. He was born in Berlin, German Empire, and died in Teaneck, New Jersey. He won two silver medals in gymnastics at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
As a gymnast, Jochim was a member of Swiss Turnverein in Union City, New Jersey.[2] He won seven titles on national level, the last one in 1933. He held the American record for most individual titles until Simone Biles won her eighth national title in 2023.[3]
Jochim emigrated from Germany to the United States as a child and lived in New Jersey in Union City and Hackensack, before moving to Lodi a decade before his death.[4]
