Daniel Zschätzsch (born October 8, 1982 in Groß-Gerau ) is a former German inline speed skater and speed skater .

Life

Daniel Zschätzsch started speed skating in 1986 at the age of three. His strengths lay particularly in the sprint and medium distances.

As early as 1995 he was appointed to the junior national team and started as the youngest runner in the Junior European Championship against athletes who were usually two years older. He immediately came second there with the men's three-man relay. In his junior years from 1996 to 1999 he was the best German junior runner with 13 German junior titles and nine junior European championship medals.

Because of his achievements, Daniel Zschätzsch took part in the Junior World Championships from 1997 to 1999. In 1998 he won the Junior World Championship bronze as the final runner with the German relay team. In 1999 he even started at the European Championships, although he was still a junior in age, and made his debut there with 8th and 9th places. With his relay medals at the European Championships and his bronze individual medals at the European Championships in 2003 over 1,000 m and 2005 over 500 m, he has finally established himself in the international top speed skating.

Daniel had been a member of the junior top squad C of the German Roller Sports and Inline Association since 1996, and since 2001 he has been a member of the A-squad, the top squad of active players. After graduating from high school in 2001, he began studying teaching in French and sports at the University of Frankfurt in October 2001.

Until 2005 Daniel Zschätzsch dominated German speed skating together with his brother Benjamin since 2000 (until 2003 even with three of them with her brother Christoph ); For example, Daniel and Benjamin Zschätzsch won 12 of 15 possible DM medals in 2005, 14 (of 17 possible) DM medals in 2004, 19 together in 2003, and in 2002 together 20 (of 26 possible) DM medals in 2002.

Daniel Zschätzsch was an excellent sprinter, but also an all-rounder with top performances also over medium and long distances and was at the top of the German speed skating ranking from August 2005 to June 2007.

He was also able to qualify for the 2007 Winter Universiade in Turin in speed skating and represented the German colors on the ice for the first time.

In 2009 he ended his active career.

From 2014 he was a sports and French teacher on the school farm Insel Scharfenberg , but left it in 2016.
