Andrea Mayr (born October 15, 1979 in Wels ) is an Austrian long-distance runner and doctor. She is a multiple Austrian champion, two-time Olympian (2012, 2016), three-time European champion and six-time world champion in mountain running, vice-European champion in duathlon (2014) and world champion in ski mountaineering (2017).
Career
Andrea Mayr is both record world champion (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016) and record European champion (2005, 2013, 2014. 2015) in mountain running and thus the most successful athlete in the history of this discipline. She is also a multiple Austrian champion in the 10,000-meter run , the 3000-meter obstacle course and the cross-country run .
Her successes in stair running include three victories at the Empire State Building Run-Up (2004, 2005, 2006), where she has held the course record since 2006 with 11:23 minutes. What is remarkable is the fact that she was able to win every flight of stairs in which she participated. Sometimes she would have occupied the top ten places with her times in the men's standings.
She has also been active in cycling since 2004 and became Austrian mountain champion in 2004, 2006 and 2013. In 2004 she was fourth in Belgium at the Duathlon World Championship.
In 2007 she became vice world champion in mountain running in Switzerland. In 2008 she won the Obudu Mountain Run , the world's most highly endowed hill climb .
In 2009 she made her debut on the marathon distance . She won the Vienna City Marathon in a time of 2:30:43 hours and thus improved Eva-Maria Gradwohl's Austrian national record by eight seconds. At her home European championships in mountain running in Telfes im Stubai as part of the Schlickeralm run , she achieved the bronze medal. In November of this year, a broken collarbone in a traffic accident forced her to take a break from training.
In September 2010 she became world champion in mountain running in the Slovenian town of Kamnik .
2012 Summer Olympics
She qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics on October 30, 2011 at the Frankfurt Marathon with a time of 2:32:33 hours. At the Olympic marathon on August 5, 2012 in London , she finished 54th with 2:34:51 hours.
In September 2012 she became world champion in mountain running again in Italy after her success in 2010.
In August 2014 she became Vice European Champion on the Duathlon short distance at Powerman Austria in Weyer . In September she won her fifth world title in mountain running in Italy and has been the sole record winner in this discipline ever since.
2016 Summer Olympics
She qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in October 2015 (as in 2011) at the Frankfurt Marathon with a time of 2:33:28 hours. She reached 64th place in the women's Olympic marathon. At the World Mountain Running Championships in September in Saparewa Banja ( Bulgaria ), she won her sixth title.
In February 2017, the then 37-year-old doctor won her first world title in ski mountaineering. In June, the Upper Austrian was able to secure her tenth title in the mountain run in Bludenz .
At the beginning of March 2019, she won the title in the vertical competition again at the World Ski Mountaineering Championships in Vilar (Switzerland).
Andrea Mayr starts for SV Schwechat and she is also in the duathlon national team of the ÖTRV . Andrea Mayr works as a doctor in the hospital in Vöcklabruck .
