Doris Mader (born February 3, 1976 in Vienna ) is a table tennis player in disabled sports from Austria . Since 2003 she has been playing for the Lower Austrian disabled sports club BSV Weißer Hof.
Career
Mader started playing table tennis in early childhood. At that time she was trained primarily by her father (Gerhard Mader). Mader's sporty cradle is the traditional Viennese club TTC Meindl (later TTC Spar), of which she has been an honorary member since December 2005.
Since the removal of a spinal cord tumor in November 2002, Mader has suffered from incomplete paraplegia from the 6th thoracic vertebra down . But already during her initial rehabilitation at the Weißer Hof rehabilitation center, she met the later Paralympic winner from Beijing, Andreas Vevera . Together they started an intensive training program in 2003. In June 2004 Mader started at her first Austrian State Championships in the disability class TT-3 and won 1 gold and 2 silver in three competitions straight away.
In March 2005 Mader played her first international world ranking tournament in Budapest , from which she returned home with a gold and a silver. Mader celebrated her first big success that same year. At the European Championships in Jesolo , she was runner-up in June 2005. Mader had her greatest success at the 2012 Paralympics in London , where she won the silver medal in the individual competition.
