Sabine Ansel (born December 27, 1978 in Stuttgart ) is a German fistball player .

Sabine Ansel is one of the most outstanding fistball players at national and international level. She has been the world's best defender for many years. In 2006 she won the world title with the German national team . She was European fistball champion in 2007 , 2005 and 2003 . She also has a World Cup silver medal with the national team, won in Chile in 2010 , and a bronze medal at the World Cup in Brazil in 2002 . Although she was born in Stuttgart and is still a member of TSVgg Stuttgart-Münster today, Sabine Ansel has achieved almost all of her successes at club level with Ahlhorner SV , which is based in Lower Saxony . The year 2004 was particularly successful when Ahlhorn and Sabine Ansel became German champions in the hall and in the field and also world cup winners in Porto Alegre, Brazil. There was another World Cup victory in 2006 in Ahlhorn. All of these titles are achievements in the field.

In the European Cup, defender Ansel won the title with her club in 2008, 2007, 2005 and 2003 in the field and in 2009, 2003 and 2002 in the hall. A total of nine German championship titles are divided between the field round (2010, 2008, 2007, 2004, 2003) and the indoor round (2010, 2008, 2004, 2002). In 2004, 2008 and 2010 she achieved the "double" (winning the field and indoor title in one season). Even before moving to Ahlhorn, Sabine Ansel won her first championship medal: with TV Böblingen, for which she played from 1998 to 2000, she finished third in the DM in 1999. In addition to her titles, she won four German runner-up championships. In the European Cup she was with Ahlhorn four times in second and three times in third place.

Sabine Ansel was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf for her outstanding sporting achievements . On May 28, 2008, she received the highest state award for German athletes in Berlin from Federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble . Just three months earlier, the police commissioner, who lives and works in Hanover, was honored by Lower Saxony's interior minister Uwe Schünemann as "Sportswoman of the year 2007" by the Lower Saxony police.

After winning the DM title in Bretten in March 2008, where she was once again elected to the All-Star Team, she (temporarily) retired from active sport for professional reasons. In the 2009/2010 season she played again for Ahlhorner SV and won the indoor and field titles with her club at the German championships. National coach Eber called her again to the national team for the world championships in November 2010 in Santiago de Chile, where she was able to win the runner-up world championship with the national team.

Sabine Ansel only got to fistball as a teenager - through a school project. She had previously played tennis and gymnastics at the gymnastics club in the Stuttgart district of Stammheim , and from 1992 she also did kickboxing at the railway sports club in the neighboring town of Kornwestheim .
