biography
Sadleder attended the main ski school in Windischgarsten and then the ski trade school in Waidhofen an der Ybbs . After her first successes in the European Cup - she reached second place in the downhill classification in the 1986/87 season - she made her first appearances in the World Cup that same winter . At the end of the season, she won World Cup points for the first time with 14th place in the downhill from Vail and at the beginning of next winter she achieved eighth place in the combination of Leukerbad . However, it was primarily used in the European Cup. When she won the downhill classification with three victories in the 1987/88 season in front of the Swiss Tanja Steinebrunner and was sixth in the overall classification, tied with her, she had finally secured a permanent place in the Austrian World Cup team.
Sadleder was able to confirm the good results from the European Cup several times in the 1988/89 World Cup season. Among other things, she reached fourth place in the downhill from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee as well as sixth in the downhill and seventh in the Super-G from Grindelwald . With a total of six top 10 placements, she achieved her best overall results in her first full World Cup season as 20th in the overall World Cup and ninth in the Downhill World Cup. The team's internal qualification for the World Cup in Vail did not succeed. In the next two years, Sadleder achieved similar results as in the previous year. In the 1989/90 season she was in the top ten four times, including three times in the downhill, and achieved fifth place as the best result in the second Panorama downhill . In the Downhill World Cup she took eleventh place, but in the overall World Cup she fell back to 33rd place. In the 1990/91 season she again achieved four top 10 placings and equalized her best World Cup result to date with fourth place in the downhill from Garmisch-Partenkirchen . This time she also qualified for the 1991 World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm , where she was ninth in the downhill but was eliminated in the Super-G.
At the beginning of the 1991/92 season , Barbara Sadleder was second in the Super-G in Santa Caterina for the first time on the podium in a World Cup race and at the same time achieved her best ever World Cup result. She only missed victory against the German Katja Seizinger by two hundredths of a second. There were no further podium places this winter, but with some top 10 results she was able to improve to 23rd place in the overall World Cup, and she was also tenth in the Super-G classification. For the first time she also won the Austrian championship in Super-G, which she was able to repeat in 1993 . At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville , she stayed seventh in the downhill and 15th in the Super-G in the area of her World Cup results.
The 1991/92 season began for Sadleder with two eighth places in the Downhill and Super-G of Vail. After a few poor results, on January 15, 1993, she finished third in the Cortina d'Ampezzo descent for the second time in her career on the podium. In the rest of the winter, however, she only made it into the top ten. At the 1993 World Championships in Morioka - Shizukuishi , Sadleder achieved tenth place in the Super-G, but only came 25th in the downhill run. The 1993/94 season was completely unsatisfactory . A 24th place in the downhill from Whistler was her best result, whereupon she ended her career in the spring of 1994 after this disappointing season.
In 2000, the trained car technician and her sister took over her parents' car dealership in Weyer.
