Career

Jessica Tiebel lives in Geising and started for the RRC Altenberg , where she was trained by Uwe Günther. She started tobogganing in 2005 and has been attending the Glück-Auf-Gymnasium Altenberg , the elite school of sports in Altenberg , since the fifth grade . After graduating from high school , she began studying physics at the Technical University of Dresden .

Beginnings

Jessica Tiebel has already achieved great success in the youth and junior division. In the Junior World Cup she finished second in the 2013/14 season and only had to admit defeat to her teammate Angelique Fleischer. At the Junior European Championships in Sigulda , she finished fifth in 2014. From the following season onwards she won almost everything that could be won in luge in her age group. In 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 she won the overall ranking of the Junior Women’s World Cup. She also won the titles at the European Junior Championships in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and in 2018 with the German team. She also won the titles at the Junior World Championships in 2015 and 2017, and in 2017 she and the team also won the silver medal behind the Russian team.

The 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer were also successful , where Tiebel had to admit defeat to Brooke Apshkrum from Canada and won silver. She won gold at the side of Paul-Lukas Heider , Hannes Orlamünder and Paul Gubitz in the team competition. In 2017 she also won the title at the German A Youth Championships. In 2018 she continued her successful streak. In Altenberg, at home, she won the title in the individual race of the 2018 Junior Luge World Championships on her home track , as well as in the team competition alongside Max Langenhan and the Orlamünder / Gubitz double. Even before that, she only had to admit defeat to her teammate Cheyenne Rosenthal at the Junior European Championships . Tiebel was unable to defend her title in the Junior World Cup because she was temporarily promoted to the women's World Cup team. She had previously won all races of the season.

At the German Luge Championships in 2016 at Königssee, Tiebel just missed a first national medal in women as fourth placed against Lisa Völker.In 2017 she only had to admit defeat to Natalie Geisenberger on her Altenberg home track and became German runner-up.

First World Cup appearances

In the women's category, Tiebel first appeared internationally at the Nations Cup in Altenberg in the 2016/17 season and came fourth. For the 2017/18 season she was the first substitute for the German women's World Cup team. When there were no races in the Junior World Cup, it was used in the Nations Cup, in which on the one hand the weaker drivers had to qualify for the World Cup, but on the other hand, in the absence of a lower-class international racing series in luge, junior drivers who did not compete for the Were able to qualify for the World Cup, but were included in the ranking as part of the Nations Cup. At the start of the season in Innsbruck she only had to admit defeat to the Italian Andrea Vötter and came second. Only in the following race in Winterberg did Tiebel weaken a bit and only came in 14th. She won the three following races in Altenberg, at Königssee and in Oberhof . After Tatjana Hüfner dropped out because of an illness at Königssee, it was also the qualification for the World Cup race, in which she surprisingly was able to take a podium place immediately, finishing third behind Natalie Geisenberger and Dajana Eitberger and almost the entire world elite, including those who were in office at the time or former World and European champions like Martina Kocher , Erin Hamlin and Tatjana Iwanowa left behind. In Oberhof, too, she was fourth after the first run behind the three other German riders, but fell back to ninth after a less successful second run.

For the 2019/20 season she moved up to the German World Cup team together with Anna Berreiter and Cheyenne Rosenthal, in which three places had become free after Tatjana Hüfner's career ended and Natalie Geisenberger and Dajana Eitberger's pregnancy-related break. At the World Cup opener in Innsbruck-Igls, she was third in the women's World Cup race at the same time as Julia Taubitz, after finishing seventh in the previous Nations Cup. This was followed by mixed races of the season, in which Tiebel finished 9th and 14th (sprint) in Lake Placid and 5th and 8th (sprint) in Whistler . On her home track in Altenberg he achieved a 12th place at the beginning of 2020 and a 10th place at the European championships on the Hunderfossen bobsleigh and racing sledge track in Lillehammer , before she was only able to drive to 22nd place in difficult track conditions in Sigulda and thus missed qualification for the Sprint World Cup race. Then national coach Norbert Loch decided to take Tiebel out of the German squad for the World Cup in Oberhof and the World Championships in Sochi and to give her a break. Tiebel had previously complained to the coaching team about motivation problems and fear of failure. For the following races in Winterberg and Königssee, Tiebel did not return to the German squad, despite announcements to the contrary. While her place in Winterberg remained unoccupied, it was taken over by her club colleague Jessica Degenhardt at Königssee , making her World Cup debut.

At the end of January 2020, Tiebel ended her career at the age of 21. The reason she gave was a lack of motivation. In an interview, she described the time after her first World Cup podium at the age of 19 as the "worst time of her career". After her career, she plans to concentrate on studying physics in Dresden and can no longer imagine returning to sledding.

Awards

Tiebel has received several awards for its successes in the youth sector, including the German Sporthilfe Top Ten Junior Athletes of 2015 . In 2015 she came second behind the track cycling team Pauline Grabosch / Emma Hinze and fifth in the Piotr Nurowski Prize when she was voted one of the elite students of sport
