Career

Matthias Bischl comes from Obersöchering and started for SV Söchering . Although he was long in the wider circle of the German national team, for a long time he was unable to qualify for international competitions, not for the Biathlon World Cup , the IBU Cup and also not for races in the Junior IBU Cup, the Junior World Championships or Junior European Championships. In addition to better performances by other German athletes, this was due to repeated injuries. Meanwhile, he celebrated successes at national level in the Germany Cup or the Alpine Cup. He was able to contest his first international races in the IBU Cup at the start of the 2011/12 season . The first race was a sprint in Östersund , in which he finished 25th straight away in the points. In another sprint in the same place, he was able to improve to 13th place that same weekend and thus close to the top ten ranks. His best individual result for a long time was a 12th place, achieved in a sprint in Ridnaun . Bischl achieved his first podium placement in January 2012 in a relay race in Haute-Maurienne , where he finished third alongside Fabian Bekelaer , Benedikt Doll and Daniel Graf behind the representatives from Norway and Ukraine. From 2009 to 2011 he won the City Biathlon in Garmisch alongside his training partner Magdalena Neuner . At the European Biathlon Championships 2012 in Osrblie , Bischl won the relay race title as well as the individual title and bronze title in the pursuit race with Daniel Böhm , Johannes Kühn and Erik Lesser .

At the beginning of the 2015/2016 season , he achieved an individual podium for the first time in a sprint in Idre, Sweden, in third place in the IBU Cup.

In the 2015/16 World Cup winter , Bischl made his first World Cup appearance at the sprint in Hochfilzen. With his 58th place in the sprint race, he qualified for the following pursuit race, which he finished in 49th place. He won the City Biathlon in Garmisch again in 2017 - together with Anna Weidel .

In April 2018, Bischl announced his retirement from active competitive sports.
