Lisa Hütthaler (born September 2, 1983 in Wiener Neustadt ) is an Austrian triathlete . She is European champion on the middle distance triathlon (2014), state duathlon champion (2004), state triathlon champion on the short distance (2007, 2012, 2013, 2019) and state champion on the triathlon sprint distance (2014). She is included in the best list of Austrian triathletes on the Ironman distance .

Career

After graduating from high school, the Lower Austrian competed in her first triathlon in Grado in 2003 . She started for Team Sport Nora .

U23 European Duathlon Champion 2004

In April 2004 Lisa Hütthaler became national duathlon champion and in September also duathlon European champion in the U23 class. She was able to repeat this success again in 2006.

In 2007 she became Austrian triathlon state champion on the short distance (1.5 km swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running).
At the World Cup race in New Zealand, after the momentous fall of Olympic champion Kate Allen in May 2008 , Hütthaler came under criticism for contributing to her fault. The allegations were then dropped as no suspicions were confirmed.

After missing qualification for the 2008 Olympic Games , she switched from short to long distance.

2008 doping ban

Hütthaler had tested positive for the blood doping hormone during a training check on March 22, 2008, and in October 2008 she was banned for two years by the legal commission of the National Anti-Doping Agency Austria (NADA) for EPO doping .

The ban was reduced to 18 months by NADA on April 6, 2009 due to her extensive confession. In a courier interview in March 2009, she was the first top athlete to reveal the names of the people behind her and details of her doping allegations. She named the pediatric cancer doctor Andreas Zoubek and the sports manager Stefan Matschiner (formerly also a consultant to Michael Rasmussen and Bernhard Kohl ) as doping suppliers and administrators. Both denied all allegations. Hütthaler announced that it would support NADA in the future. The following day, her former partner and supervisor - the cyclist and triathlete Michael Dimmel - underlined and confirmed her statements.
At the same time it became known that the public prosecutor's office was being investigated for attempted abuse of office: Hütthaler is said to have tried to get an employee in a laboratory in Seibersdorf who was supposed to analyze her B-sample to manipulate it with 20,000 euros . Hütthaler himself spoke in a conversation with Der Spiegel published on April 27th of 50,000 euros.
On June 26, 2009, she was sentenced to three months' conditional imprisonment for bribery.

Even professional cyclist Bernhard Kohl, who made no statements for a long time after his doping ban, gave details of the doping investigations against him and the people involved after Hütthaler's statements became known. On the basis of statements by Kohl and Hütthaler, Matschiner was arrested and sentenced in October 2010 to a partial prison term of 15 months for attempted blood doping and the passing on of prohibited substances.

On April 7, 2009, Hütthaler announced the end of her active triathlon career - after the end of the doping ban (on September 22, 2009), other things would now have priority. She also stated that amateur athletes are already being subjected to intensive doping. She described the intensive reporting system as “the right step to save the sport”. It is unclear whether the state championship title was revoked in 2007. In any case, Hütthaler seems to have admitted in interviews that she had been doping since she was 18.

Hütthaler landed on October 4th, 2009 in the half marathon in Eisenstadt in third place (1:21:57 h) and she reached the New York City Marathon on November 1st as the best Austrian in 18th place.

Comeback after being suspended in 2010

As announced by the Austrian Triathlon Association (ÖTRV), Hütthaler was entitled to start again from June 5, 2010 after a control phase lasting several months.

Corporal Lisa Hütthaler is in the Austrian Armed Forces as a competitive athlete and trains at the Army Sports Center in Vienna. She has been trained by Heinz Planitzer since 2011 . In April 2012 she finished second at the TriStar 111 Cannes . In June she was able to repeat her success from 2007 and again won the title of Austrian triathlon champion. At the Ironman 70.3 Pays d'Aix France , she started in an Ironman 70.3 race for the first time in September and finished fifth.
At the 70.3 Ironman in Miami, Hütthaler won silver in October, but three competitors accused her of having driven in the slipstream of her friend Andreas Fuchs , whereupon Hütthaler took legal action against these allegations. From the official point of view of the race management there were no complaints. The WTC reacted to the allegations by tightening the rules.

In May 2013 she won both the Ironman 70.3 on Mallorca and two weeks later in St. Pölten. In the 2013 season, Hütthaler was part of the ÖTRV B squad as well as the “long distance” squad. In July she became the Austrian triathlon state champion on the Olympic distance for the third time in Obertrum.

European champion triathlon middle distance 2014

In May 2014 she was able to successfully defend her two victories on Mallorca and St. Pölten. In June she became Austrian national champion on the triathlon sprint distance. In September she finished seventh at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Canada, as in the previous year . In October, Hütthaler became European champion over the middle distance on Mallorca.

Lisa Hütthaler did not start at both the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Zell am See and the Ironman Hawaii 2015 despite qualifying due to persistent problems in both legs and an acute injury in her hand.

At the state championship on the triathlon sprint distance in Neufeld an der Leitha , she became vice state champion in June 2016. In September she was third at the European Championships on the half-distance triathlon at Walchsee.

In Spain, she finished second at Ironman Barcelona in September 2017 with a new personal best time (8:51:21 h) . She entered the list of Austrian triathletes on the Ironman distance in second place behind Eva Wutti .

In July 2018 she was second in Ironman Austria . Lisa Hütthaler qualified as fifth and best Austrian in July at the Challenge Prague for "The Championship" on June 2, 2019 in Samorin. In July 2019, the then 35-year-old became the Austrian triathlon state champion on the Olympic distance for the fourth time in Obertrum.

Hütthaler has been the mother of one son since February 2011 and she lives in Steinabrückl .
