Career

It all started with traditional roller skates in 1981. She became multiple Austrian national champion and record holder at various distances. In 1992 during the Warm Up, at the European Championships in Sicily ( Acireale ), she fell badly and could not feel her left leg for 16 months.

In the meantime, the world's elite and a year later the Austrian roller sports circus had switched to inline skates. The inline skates completely replaced the traditional roller skate in fast running. Inline Speed ​​Skating was born and in 1994, after a few problems changing and without training, Schrenk was again Austrian national champion on Vienna's Danube Island .

In 1995 she received her first sponsorship from Rollerblade . A comeback followed and the way to the top of the world in inline sport. After winning the Downhill World Championship in Lausanne in 2001 at the latest, her nickname "Speedqueen" was more than confirmed. The next day she started the SIC Inline Marathon in Lausanne and won it by a considerable margin. With this brilliant achievement of the first Austrian World Cup gold medal for the Austrian Roller Sport and Inline Skate Association (ÖRSV), she also managed to be accepted into the Armed Forces Center.

Of all of their teams, the time with the Salomon World Team was the absolute highlight. Inline skating was also more popular at the time than any other trend sport . With her successful final sprint on Vienna's Ringstrasse as part of the World Inline Cup, she was accepted into the SAAB SALOMON WORLD TEAM, which was so much awaited at the time.
