Strong Performance despite a tough challenge:
Tina Fischl sets new record at the Linz half marathon
At this year’s ORLEN half marathon in Linz on Sunday, April 12, elite athlete and personal trainer Tina Fischl from Fürstenstein once again impressively demonstrated her fighting spirit. Competing for WSV Otterskirchen, she lined up alongside more than 21,000 participants at the start of this major sporting event, which offered perfect running conditions and an outstanding atmosphere.
Following a strong half marathon performance four weeks earlier in Wels, her goal was clearly defined: to build on her personal best. Motivation was high, as were expectations. However, it became apparent early in the race that this would be a particularly demanding day for the athlete. The leading runner quickly pulled away and delivered an outstanding race. After running in second place for a long time, Tina Fischl had to let one competitor pass her as the race progressed. Nevertheless, with great determination and mental strength, she secured an excellent third place overall, crossing the finish line confidently. The race was crowned by another remarkable achievement: in the W50 age group, Tina Fischl set a new Lower Bavarian half marathon record. This result clearly underlines her athletic performance and discipline. Notably, the two athletes finishing ahead of her competed in the W30 age group, while Fischl dominated her own age category with a lead of more than 13 minutes.
As an experienced athlete and personal trainer, Tina Fischl knows that not every race goes perfectly — yet it is precisely these races that reveal true strength. Looking ahead, she remains focused: “Now it’s time to keep training — the next races will surely come.” With this performance, she sends a strong message once again, proving that perseverance, experience, and mental toughness are decisive factors in sport.

Your goals won’t wait — so run toward them
At the Spring Classic in Ruhstorf, Tina claimed a commanding victory as the fastest woman, dominating the race from start to finish and leaving noticeably younger competitors well behind. Tina Fischl’s thoughts on the race:
“It’s about showing that age is never the limit to what you can achieve!
And that feeling when your body simply performs, when every step reminds you:
You are alive.
Having a goal keeps you young.
Having a hobby keeps you moving.
Sports give you energy for life.
Whether you’re 20, 40, 50 or 70 –
your body is stronger than you think.
I see this every day in my work as a running coach:
People grow beyond their own expectations the moment they start believing in themselves!
You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to start.
Maybe today is your moment to lace up your running shoes.
Because in the end, age doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you start running.”

Tina Fischl of WSV Otterskirchen delivered an outstanding start to the new running season. The 49‑year‑old athlete from Fürstenstein secured second place at the half marathon in Wels, Austria, competing in a very strong women’s field.
With an excellent time of 1:18:40 hours, the personal trainer was extremely satisfied with her performance – even though the course was shortened by about 200 meters at the end due to construction work.
The route consisted of three laps of seven kilometers each, with a slight incline on every lap. Since it was Fischl’s first time racing on this course, she started out cautiously.
Already in the first lap, Fischl surprised even herself: with about a 50‑meter lead she was at the front of the very fast women’s field. Right behind her was Austria’s Theresa Birglechner, followed by Amelie Hofbauer from PTSV Rosenheim in third place.
In the second lap, Birglechner eventually caught up and shortly afterwards moved into the lead. Fischl tried to stay with her, but the Austrian — almost 30 years younger — was able to pull away slightly with the help of her pacer. The gap settled at around 50 to 100 meters.
Fischl then focused on securing second place — successfully. In the end, she missed the win by only 40 seconds, while holding roughly a one‑minute lead over third‑placed Hofbauer.
The atmosphere along the course also contributed to the success of the race. With her time of 1:18:40, the runner was highly satisfied. The result clearly shows that her consistent winter training has truly paid off.
For Tina Fischl, who competes for WSV Otterskirchen and works professionally as a personal trainer, the second‑place finish in Wels is a highly promising signal for the months ahead: “The season can begin now — I’m highly motivated and want to show that even at almost 50, you can still achieve excellent performances.”

Austria’s largest and toughest ski mountaineering race
The Mountain Attack 2026 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm will go down as one of the toughest editions in the race’s history. Icy, steep, relentless – the conditions on the course offered no room for compromise. What awaited the more than 700 athletes from over 20 nations was a true test of equipment, strength, and willpower. It was precisely in these circumstances that those built for extremes stood out.
Right on schedule at 4:00 p.m., the starting gun fired in Saalbach’s village square, marking the beginning of the legendary Schattberg Race (4 km / 1,000 m vertical gain). Cheered on by spectators, the athletes sprinted through the village before heading straight into the first steep section. The ski slope resembled an icy wall — glassy and unforgiving, with gradients exceeding 70 percent in places. Every misstep was punished immediately.
Amid this battle against the mountain, Tina Fischl (WSV Otterskirchen / Mountain-Attaq Team Sport Zöls) took control from the very start. Highly focused, technically flawless, and displaying remarkable determination, she quickly distanced herself from the competition. While many athletes slipped on the bare ice and lost valuable seconds, Fischl remained composed, steady, and uncompromising on her line.
After the first long steep section, the ski mountaineers were briefly able to catch their breath near the mid-station, where the gradient eased slightly — before the climb inevitably grew steeper again.
The second section demanded everything from the athletes. The track was churned up, the surface offered little grip, and the slope was once again merciless. Every step burned in the legs, every breath became a struggle in the freezing temperatures. Yet on this day, Tina Fischl seemed unstoppable. With perfectly adjusted climbing aids, tremendous strength, and mental resilience, she steadily extended her lead — meter by meter, step by step.
On the final vertical meters below the summit station, it was clear that victory would not be taken from her. Driven by sheer determination, Fischl pushed toward the summit and crowned her outstanding performance with another commanding win. It was already her third victory in the Mountain Attack’s Schattberg Race — achieved in impressive fashion.
Clocking an excellent time of 54:58 minutes and finishing three minutes ahead of runner-up Theresa Kober (Austria), Fischl reached the summit of the Schattberg at 2,097 meters above sea level as the undisputed winner. A gap that, under such extreme conditions, feels like an eternity and powerfully underscores her dominance. Third place went to Katharina Fischer (Austria).
In a post-race interview, the personal trainer from Fürstenstein emphasized the significance of her success: “Mountain Attack is one of the biggest and toughest races in ski mountaineering. The fact that my body can handle such extreme strain, that I’m healthy, and that I can celebrate my third victory here on the Schattberg — even though I can’t train on climbs like these at home — is something very special to me.”
For the tour and marathon athletes of Team Zöls, the real challenge was only just beginning at the summit. Moving at a more energy-conserving pace than Fischl’s sprint effort, Hans Jörg Wagmann, Matthias Burgstaller, Daniel Schmidbauer, Michael Wagmann, Georg Kusser, Andreas Gastinger, and Rubert Koch reached the Schattberg East Summit within a tight time window between 1:07 and 1:20.
Hans Jörg Wagmann, Daniel Schmidbauer, and Matthias Burgstaller successfully completed the marathon course featuring six summits and 3,000 meters of vertical gain. Overall, the entire team can be very satisfied with its performance.
In the end, the successful finishers raised a glass to their achievements and rounded off the eventful weekend with sunny alpine and ski touring days in the World Championship ski resort of Hinterglemm.
