Alexander Pschera (born April 28, 1988 in Karl-Marx-Stadt ) is a German sprinter .
Life
At the age of ten, the then elementary school pupil came to athletics through his father, himself a former athlete and trainer. He successfully passed the entrance examination at the sports high school in Chemnitz and joined the LAC Erdgas Chemnitz . In 2002 he switched to the sprint training group around the then national coach Peter Dost.
When he first took part in the German Youth Championships in Jena in 2004 , he missed the U18 final over 400 meters by just a hundredth of a second, but in the 4 x 100 meter relay he won his first medal in national championships with bronze. A year later, an illness of Pfeiffer's glandular fever prevented possible participation in the U18 World Championships. Nevertheless, he was German vice-youth champion over 400 and fourth over 200 meters.
In the 2006 season, Pschera suffered from thyroiditis , which prevented him from performing better. Nevertheless, he won bronze at the German youth championships with the 4 x 400 meter relay. In the following indoor season he was appointed to the German national team for the first time as part of the U20 international match in Vittel . The qualification for the U20 European Championships 2007 in Hengelo only succeeded in the last nomination competition, as Pschera had previously suffered from a foot injury. There he won silver as a member of the German 4 x 400 meter relay - as well as over 400 meters at the subsequent German youth championships. In 2008 Pschera switched to Dresdner SC , but ended his career after falling ill with Pfeiffer's glandular fever. Alexander Pschera is 1.85 m tall and has a competition weight of 69 kg. Since January 2011 he has been competing again.
