For his participation in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles , he prepared at the Tōkai University and the University of Tsukuba in Japan, where he found optimal training conditions. His trainers George Kerr , Norbert Herrmann and Lutz Lischka made their contribution to his development to become a top Judoka . The self-confidence gained in Japan led him to the first Olympic gold medal. Four years later he became the first judoka to successfully defend his title at the Olympic Games in Seoul .

Career as a coach

Following his sports career, Seisenbacher was General Secretary of the Austrian Sports Aid until 1992 . He then became the national team trainer for the men of the Austrian Judo Association . He was released after an argument with a team fighter at the A tournament in Leonding in 1991 and suspended for one year. In 1984 he founded the "Budoclub Wien". Between 2005 and 2010 he was President of the Vienna State Judo Association.

From 2010 he was coach of the Georgian judo national team. At the Judo European Championships 2012 in Chelyabinsk, the team was able to provide a European middleweight champion and also won the title of European team champion in the men. Until 2012, the Georgian team won two gold, three silver and four bronze medals at European championships and one bronze medal at world championships under his leadership. At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Lascha Schawdatuaschwili won gold in the class up to 66 kg.

In October 2012 he was appointed coach of the Azerbaijani judo national team. At the 2013 World Championships in Rio, Elkhan Mammadov was world champion up to 100 kilograms, and Orkan Safarov won bronze up to 60 kilograms. After being dismissed at the end of 2013, he became national coach again in September 2015.

Allegations of abuse and conviction

In June 2014 Austrian media reported that Peter Seisenbacher was suspected of sexually abusing minors . He made no statement, the public prosecutor's office confirmed the investigation. After the investigation was completed, a project report from the public prosecutor's office was examined by the Ministry of Justice because of the prominence of the accused. Charges were brought in October 2016. Seisenbacher stayed unexcused from the December 19 trial at the Vienna Criminal Court, whereupon the court immediately issued a European arrest warrant . However, this was not announced until January 16, 2017, with a delay due to investigation reasons. On August 1, 2017, Seisenbacher was arrested in an apartment in the Ukrainian capital Kiev and released on September 8 by the Ukrainian judiciary while the extradition proceedings were ongoing. From September 12th, the Austrian Federal Criminal Police Office was looking for Seisenbacher again . On October 6, 2017, the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice refused Seisenbacher's extradition, but ordered him to leave Ukraine within five days.

Seisenbacher went into hiding in Ukraine in 2019 because of an impending new extradition request. In September 2019 he tried to get from Ukraine to Poland with a forged Austrian passport, but was arrested while crossing the border and extradited to Vienna on September 12.

The trial began on November 25, 2019 at the Vienna Regional Criminal Court. Seisenbacher was born on 2 December of the same year by the aldermen Senate convicted of serious sexual abuse of minors, sexual abuse of minors and abuse of authority relation to five years in prison. The defense had demanded an acquittal. After the three-day reflection period, Seisenbacher filed a nullity complaint and an appeal .

On April 11, 2020, the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the jury's senate, and on June 18, 2020 , the Vienna Higher Regional Court reduced Peter Seisenbacher's five-year prison sentence by two months to four years and ten months due to the standstill.
