Athletic career

As a two-year-old Denise Schindler came under a tram in ice and snow in Karl-Marx-Stadt, whereupon her right lower leg had to be amputated.

Schindler has been a competitive cyclist since 2010, became world champion in road racing the following year and won the overall ranking of the World Cup. In 2012 she won the World Cup again and won the silver medal in road racing at the Summer Paralympics in London .

Denise Schindler won two silver medals at the UCI Paracycling World Championships in 2014 , in the 500-meter time trial and in the single pursuit . The following year, at the UCI Paracycling World Track Championships in Apeldoorn in 2015 , she became world champion in the single pursuit, achieved bronze in the scratch and silver in the time trial.

At the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro , Schindler won two medals: a silver one in the road time trial and a bronze one in the road race. During her participation in the individual pursuit on the track, she was disqualified because she had driven too long in the slipstream of her competitor. At the 2017 UCI Paracycling Road World Championships in Pietermaritzburg , South Africa , she won silver in the road race and bronze in the time trial. In the same year - after 2011 and 2012 - she won the overall World Cup.

On January 15, 2018, Denise Schindler set an unofficial world record in the 3000 meter single pursuit of the C3 class at the Manchester Velodrome . She covered the distance in 4: 01.359 minutes and thus remained around two seconds below the old record of 4: 03.544 minutes, set up by the British Megan Giglia at the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 . The world record is not officially recognized because the organizer of the C1 race did not carry out any doping controls. The UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in 2019 in the Dutch Apeldoorn , she won the silver medal in the pursuit and bronze in the scratch . She also came in second in the Omnium test competition .

prosthesis

Denise Schindler is working with the software company Autodesk on the development of a process that uses laser scanning to digitally measure and model amputees' stumps , and then use 3D printing to produce a prosthesis . At the Hannover Messe 2016 she presented this procedure to the US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel . She started with such a prosthesis at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro .
