With 20 years represented his country in the Olympic Games of Sydney 2000 in the specialty of pole vault obtaining a diploma with a sixth position. But despite the intense work she did with her body, Yvonne did not feel in harmony within that body. “For many years I felt that I was living in the wrong body. I felt like a man and had to live in a woman's body ».

The November 21 2007, Buschbaum announced that it was retiring from high competition sport to initiate the most important transformation of its life, a change of sex.  "I am aware that transsexuality is a marginal problem, but I do not want to be part of that marginalization, much less play hide and seek ".

He chose to change Yvonne's name to Balian in homage to the character played by Orlando Bloom in "The Kingdom of Heaven" and underwent a sex reassignment operation. The result has been the perfect harmony between body, mind and heart.
