Tina wins the Ried i. Innkreis marathon

Tina Fischl runs a lonely race at the front in Ried

The traditional run took place again this year as part of the sports fair in Ried i. Innkreis.More than 300 athletes started in the 4 and 10 km distances. Both groups were sent on their way around the exhibition grounds at 11:30 am sharp.

Tina Fischl from Fürstenstein was also at the starting line. The multiple winner and course record holder had big plans and had to complete five 2-kilometer laps.

While the short-distance runners set a high pace, Fischl started in a controlled manner. After the first lap, she had already built up a lead of about a minute over the second-placed woman – and was even faster than all the women on the 4-kilometer course. She completed the rest of the race alone, braving the strong winds without a slipstream. Fischl won by a comfortable margin of over six minutes ahead of Christine Forstner in 38:15 minutes. In total, only three male runners were able to reach the finish line before Fischl.

Outstanding performance by Tina Fischl, who wins bronze in the Verical Up on the “Streif”

Almost 1,000 professional and amateur athletes from 27 nations took on the ultimate challenge of “Vertical Up Kitzbühel”, in which the “Streif” is to be conquered from bottom to top as quickly as possible.

Instead of racing down into the valley on skis at breakneck speed, the route goes up to the maintain with studs, touring skis or snowshoes – and that’s more than 3.312 kilometers and 860 meters of altitude. The steepest sections have a gradient of 85 percent – and in addition it’s all happening at night.

Mountain running specialist Tina Fischl and her husband Alex also traveled to Kitzbühel. The two of them are very familiar with steep mountain races: Tina has already won the Schattenberg race, part of the Mountain Attack in Saalbach twice and just a few weeks ago she became Masters World Champion in ski mountaineering.

Metron eging GmbH, a long-standing sponsor of Tina Fischl, has specially made 25mm studs for this race so that Tina is perfectly equipped.

The starting signal was fired and the approximately 1,000 athletes rushed off as fast as they could towards the first steep slope.

On the steep slope of the traverse, Tina was immediately in her element. She instantly noticed that the specially made studs had the right grip and that the long nails gripped the ice perfectly.

On this extremely demanding route, every step had to be perfect to avoid falling. There was no time for tactical games, and in the dark, you could only see the lights of the other headlamps anyway.

Fischl mastered the so-called “alte Schneise” with a maximum incline of 85% well and was able to keep up the pace.

The final ascent via the “Mausefalle” was very exhausting and extremely difficult. The finish was right in the starting house of the World Cup downhill at 1,665 meters above sea level. At this point some athletes slid down the slope and faced major problems. Tina Fischl, however, made it through unscathed and was cheered on by hundreds of spectators at the top of the mountain. She crossed the finish line overjoyed as third-placed woman overall.

Start – finish – victory and a new course record

The ALOHA winter run cup has become a popular sporting event in Linz that brings together running enthusiasts from the region. Participants not only compete for personal bests, but also for the coveted victory in their respective categories.

The more than 200 participants from Austria and Bavaria could choose whether they wanted to run the 5km, 10km or 15km race.

At temperatures below freezing, partly strong winds and light snowfall, the runners had to cope with a 2.5km circular route with start and finish at the “Lentos Kunstmuseum”, along the Donaulände, past the Brucknerhaus and on the Kunstmeile. Each round featured a short but steep ascent.

Tina Fischl had also traveled to Linz that morning to compete against her rivals over the 10km distance and to test her current level of performance at the beginning of the new running season.

Right after the starting signal, the personal trainer from Fürstenstein took the lead of the women’s field and picked up the pace on the first lap. The gap to the second-placed woman quickly increased and Fischl was on her own.

Fischl left her competitors no chance in the further course of the race either. With an impressive time of 37:06 min., Tina Fischl not only secured overall victory, but also improved the course record for this distance by more than a minute. Second place went to Austrian Anna Lipp with a time of 40:34 min., ahead of Corina Kohlberger. In addition, only two male athletes crossed the finish line before the personal trainer at this distance.

Extremely satisfied and fully motivated, Tina Fischl is now looking forward to the upcoming events of the 2025 season.

Austria´s biggest and toughest ski touring race

The 27^th Mountain Attack 2025 took place in Saalbach-Hinterglemm with almost perfect weather and track conditions. Highly motivated athletes from 22 nations were at the start line to prove their skills in the Schattberg Race (1,017 meters of altitude), the Tour (2,036 meters of altitude, 5 summits) or the Marathon (3,010 meters of altitude, 6 summits) and the Marathon Relay.

The Mountain-Attaq-Team Sport Zöls also participated as historically the largest German team. The female star of the team, personal trainer Tina Fischl (WSV Otterskirchen/Mountain-Attaq-Team Sport Zöls) from Fürstenstein, was again considered the favorite in the extreme Schattberg-Race after her two Schattberg victories in previous years and her success at the Vertical Masters World Championships in Werfenweng. From the center of Saalbach, up to the Schattberg, a total of 1,000 meters of altitude have to be mastered in just 4 km. In the steep slopes, the athletes must overcome gradients of over 70%.

As in previous years, the starting signal for this cult ski mountaineering event was given punctually at 4:00 p.m. at the town square of Saalbach. Armed with skies and poles in hand, the race started with a run through the town square of Saalbach over to the ski slope, where the athletes were cheered on by thousands of spectators. Once arrived, the skis were strapped on and off they went into the steep slope. Like every year, the slope on the Schattberg was hard and icy and could only be mastered with special crampons. Tina Fischl got off to a good start, everything went according to plan. Some athletes slipped on the steep slope and slid past the ascending athletes. Fortunately, Fischl was able to avoid them and followed her planned route to the top.

At the halfway point of the course, Tina was informed that she was currently in second place behind Ayaka Ueda from Japan. But she didn’t know about the competition behind her.

Fully focused, the athletes continued into the second section of the route, which most of them then completed without crampons. The upper part of this section was very steep, so it was important to have the optimal climbing skins on. Fischl had made the right choice and was able to master the passage perfectly. On the last few meters below the Schattberg mountain station, Fischl realized that she would no longer be able to catch up with the fast woman from Japan. The important thing now was to keep the competition at bay. Fischl was overjoyed when she reached the summit of the Schattberg at 2,097 meters above sea level in an outstanding time of just 54:37 minutes, coming in second behind Ayaka Ueda from Japan and ahead of Molly Zurn from the United States.

Schattberg Race – Women

1. Ayaka Ueda (JPN), 00:51:01
2. Tina Fischl (GER), 00:54:37
3. Molly Zurn (USA), 01:03:14

A great success for the extreme sportswoman from Fürstenstein

Since 2020, the International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) has held the ISMF Masters World Championships in Werfenweng, Austria, every year. A total of over 400 athletes from 14 nations were registered this year.

The endurance athlete Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen was competing in this world championship for the first time. The personal trainer from Fürstenstein has been competing in running events at all distances for many years with great success. For some time now, she has been using touring skis as a training tool in winter to get mountain training in the snow for the summer season. Fischl already attracted attention in 2022/2023 with her victories at the German Championships (Masters) in vertical ski mountaineering and at the vertical race as part of the Mountain Attack in Saalbach.

With perfect weather, sunshine and temperatures around -4°C, the vertical race started punctually at 1 pm by the organizers at the valley station of the Ikarus cable cars. Almost 200 starters were registered for this first competition of the ISMF Master World Championship was also held here for the categories Senior Master and U20.

Tina Fischl had a good starting position, her competitors however, started the race so fast that she lost contact with the leaders after just a few meters. Fischl has had this problem in previous races before, so she knew how to deal with this situation. After all, such races are not decided at the start. Fischl quickly fought her way back up the first steeper ski slope, overtaking many of the probably a little over-motivated women. This section ws followed by a long, flatter segment that could be mastered using the classic cross-country skiing technique.

Fischl managed to make up some places in this section as well. She was able to overtake several young athletes from Japan, Austria and Germany. This gave the experienced mountain specialist further courage but of course it also added to the pressure because she didn’t want to be caught from behind. It was not clear to Tina at which position she was at this point (around the middle station), she simply gave it her all and hoped to reach the summit as one of the first of the women’s field.

She also didn’t give in the last steep slope up to Bischling which is 1,835 meters above sea level. Here, the many spectators along the route were treated to high-class ski mountaineering.

The finish in bright sunshine at the summit of Bischling was very special for Tina Fischl. With her outstanding time of only 49 min. 29 sec. for the ascent of 870 meters and 4.7 km, Fischl earned overjoyed the victory in the Masters category W45 and thus also won the world champion title. The second-placed woman in this class, Senn Martina from Austria, came in well behind her after 55 min. 45 sec.
