Tina Fischl surprises with gold and silver ahead of Geerman SKIMO team squad athlete

This year´s vertical ski touring race in Leogang was pretty extreme. More than 120 mountain ethusiasts were registered for this event in which a total of 1,000 m of climbing had to be completed over a distance of just 4km. The conditions on this winter evening were once again very rough for the athletes. The thermometer showed -7°C at the start and an icy -13°C at the finish at the Asitz mountain station (1,752 m)

The well-known endurance specialist Tina Fischl also wanted to compete with the best SKIMO athletes this year. Fischl was highly motivated

For this night race, which started at 6 p.m. at the valley station of the Asitz cable cars, the athletes in their thin racing suits really had their work cut out for them in the run-up to the race in order to warm up optimally.

Everyone was happy when the starting gun was fired on time. The specialists in this sport set the place right form the start and sprinted straight up the start climb. Tina Fischl had great difficulty here in not completely losing touch with the fast girls. Up to the first steep slope, Tina had to set a really hard pace to catch up again.

At full speed, she entered the steep slope, where the experienced mountain sports athlete managed to overtake some of the women. There was no time to take a deep breath, not even after the steep slope, where it flattened out a little. Due to the darkness, Tina Fischl had absolutely no idea what position she was in at this point and how many women were in front or behind her.

The further up they went, the colder and windier it became.

After completing the somewhat flatter section above the middle station, Tina Fischl picked up the pace again and was then able to overtake another fast squad athlete from Austria on the steep slope near the top station. The last few meters of altitude were extremely rough, as the slope was icy, and the skis hardly had any grip.

Tina Fischl fought to the end and was then overjoyed at the finish as the winner of the master´s classification and the second fastest lady overall. The mountain specialist was very satisfied with her performance on the day as she had not expected such a great result.

The personal trainer from Fürstenstein was the fastest German athlete and only the 20 years younger Austrian, Linda Wilhelmstätter, finished a few seconds ahead of Fischl. Fischl was able to leave the German SKIMO team squad athlete far behind during the race.

Tina Fischl ends 2023 with a commanding victory at the New Year´s Eve race in Wels

For a fitting end to the year, Tina Fischl decided to take part in the New Year’s Eve run in Wels this year. She had already won this race once before in 2016 (with a course record of 17:14 min.).

The race on the 1.7km circuit around the city center of Wels went very well for Tina right from the start. She was immediately able to pull away from her competitors. The endurance specialist from WSV Otterskirchen set a very fast pace and wanted to leave nothing to chance.

After her first lap, Tina was already about 30 seconds ahead of the second-placed runner and extended her lead further. Tina showed no weakness in the second lap either and continued to push.

In the end, in an outstanding time of 17:50 minutes, Tina was able to run into the town square of Wels as the confident winner.

Tina was more than happy with her result, as she was able to round off a very successful season with this victory. Moreover, as a mountain and long-distance runner, it’s quite a performance to leave the entire women’s competition behind her also on a short distance.

Full of motivation, we are now looking forward to the upcoming events of the 2024 season.

Tina runs strong race and wins silver

Not yet fully recovered from the 27km race around the Wolfgangsee, Tina decided to integrate her tempo training into a competition. The Petzl City Nightrun in Salzburg, which was held as part of the Trail Running Festival, was just the thing. The 5.5km racecourse ran through the narrow streets of Salzburg. Thousands of spectators loudly cheered on the runners in perfect weather. A great atmosphere on a very demanding course. The race was approached from the start with an incredibly high pace and only the best could keep up in the leading group. It was a hard fight for the places of the elite ladies in the middle of Salzburg. In the last climb towards the end of the race, Tina gave it her all and broke away with a runner from Latvia. Then in the downhill towards the finish Tina had to let go a bit. With only 15 seconds behind the track specialist Agatha Strausa from Latvia, Tina was rewarded with the excellent 2nd place overall after 18:55 minutes.

Tina Fischl fastest European in the race around the lake

A total of 4,941 athletes from 48 nations took part at the 51st International Wolfgangsee Run last weekend in perfect running weather.

After Tina Fischl has already proven several times in recent weeks that her form is really outstanding at the moment, the endurance specialist wanted to measure herself against the international running elite on the classic distance over 27 km and 340 meters of altitude.

In the further course of the race, it was a hard fight for the podium places.

Lying in 3^rd place, Tina worked her way closer and closer to the Kenyan athlete running in front of her, with whom she then delivered a very tough head-to-head race from kilometer 21 to the finish in St. Wolfgang.

In the final sprint, Tina Fischl had to let the 20 years younger athlete from Kenya go but was then extremely happy with her 3^rd place Overall Woman, as she had not expected such a good placement here at this race.

Als schnellste Europäerin erfolge dann im Anschluss nach den Interviews mit der österreichischen Presse auch gleich die Flower Zeremonie.

As the fastest European woman, the flower ceremony followed immediately after the interviews with the Austrian press.
