Career

Childhood and youth

Christine Scheyer comes from Götzis in Vorarlberg and starts for WSV Koblach. She skied for the first time when she was two and a half years old. Scheyer graduated from the Dornbirn sports high school together with snowboarder Alessandro Hämmerle . In 2013 she won the world championship in group gymnastics with the Götzner acrobatics group Zurcaroh in Cape Town .

In 2011 Scheyer took part in the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Liberec and finished fifth in the giant slalom. In the winter of 2013 she won seven FIS races and made her debut in the European Cup before tearing a cruciate ligament and meniscus in her right knee in New Zealand in the summer . Just a year and a half later, she suffered the same injury in her left knee in January 2015. She successfully fought her way back and focused on the fast disciplines. In the 2015/16 season she took third places in the Super-G in Davos and the descent from Saalbach for the first time on the podium in European Cup races.

World cup

Scheyer made her World Cup debut on December 12, 2014 in the giant slalom in Åre shortly before her second serious injury. On February 28, 2016 she won World Cup points for the first time in the combination of Soldeu with rank 23. She got off to a strong start in the 2016/17 World Cup season with ranks 18 and 23 in the downhill sections and 15th place in the Super-G of Lake Louise . In the downhill from Val-d'Isère , she achieved her first top 10 result in ninth place after she had already impressed with eleventh place in the combination the day before. On January 15, 2017, she surprisingly won the downhill run in Zauchensee ahead of Tina Weirather . She ensured the first World Cup victory for a woman from Vorarlberg since Anita Wachter a good 17 years earlier.

At the World Championships in St. Moritz , she made three starts and finished sixth, 13th and 15th in downhill, combined and super-G. In the following season she could not build on these results and was not nominated for the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang . In the first race after the Games, the Super-G in Crans-Montana , she gave a sign of life with sixth place, her best result in this discipline. At the Austrian championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm on March 20, 2018, she won the downhill competition. In December 2018, Scheyer suffered a cruciate ligament and medial meniscus tear in his right knee as well as an impression fracture of the thigh in a fall in the Super-G of Lake Louise.
In February 2020, the 25-year-old declared the current season to be over after problems with her knee injury.

Scheyer is an economics student.
