Nora Hansel (born August 30, 1985 in Löbau ) is a German triathlete . She is world champion (2014) and three-time European champion (2014, 2015, 2016) in the paratriathlon. Because of her ataxia and hemiparesis, Hansel competes in national and international competitions in class PTS3 (moderate disability).

Career

Hansel started cross-country skiing at the age of ten and switched to biathlon three years later .

At the end of the 1990s she was one of the most successful young biathletes in Saxony , but had to give up competitive sport due to the diagnosis of a brain tumor and the consequences of the surgery. Despite a hemiparesis , ataxia and imbalance on the right side, Hansel was able to return to competitive sports thanks to intensive rehabilitation in 2011 - seven years after the tumor had been removed.

World Champion Paratriathlon 2014

In June 2014 she became European champion in the paratriathlon and in August also world champion in class PT2.

In 2014, Hansel was awarded the Felix as NRW Sportswoman of the Year in the disabled sports category. In 2015, she was voted second.

In 2015 and 2016 she was again European champion in the Paratriathlon PT3.

In Rio de Janeiro, the paratriathletes were part of the Paralympic Games for the first time in 2016. However, Hansel could not take part because not all damage classes were allowed: For women, the medal competitions are held in PT2, 4 and 5.

Hansel starts for the PV triathlon in Witten .

In September 2017 she was fourth in the Triathlon World Championship PTS3 in Rotterdam.
