Career

Sonja Pfeilschifter first drew attention to herself in 1991 with the Junior World Championship with the air rifle in individual and team. In 1992 she was able to achieve first place in the World Cup in Suhl and celebrated her Olympic debut in Barcelona with 28th place (sport rifle 3 * 20) and 30th place (air rifle). Two years later she became world champion in this discipline in Milan . At the European Championships in 1997 in Kouvola , she was able to achieve second place in the small bore three-position fight (3 * 20 sport rifle) . The following year she became world champion in both disciplines in Barcelona , and at the beginning of 1998 she was voted World Shooter of the Year for the first time by international specialist journalists .

In 1999, Pfeilschifter became European air rifle champion with a world record in Arnhem and again World Shooter of the Year . In addition, she was able to win the crossbow shooting at the World Championships in St. Veit an der Glan both individually and with the team. At the Olympic Games in Sydney she finished fourth (3 * 20) and fifth (air rifle). She was three-time individual European champion in 2001, both with the air rifle and with the small-bore rifle in three-position combat and in the 60-shot discipline . Another European championship followed in 2002 with the air rifle. She finished the Olympic Games in Athens with two sixth places. The so far last "big" title she achieved with the rifle prone at the European Championships 2005 in Belgrade . Since then, she has taken first places in the World Cup and top places in international championships. She set the world record in the three-position battle in Munich on May 28, 2006 with 594 (qualification) and 698.0 (final) points. With the team, however, she was able to celebrate the world championship with the air rifle again in 2006 in Zagreb with Barbara Lechner and Sylvia Aumann .

At the European Championships with the air rifle in March 2007 in Deauville , she was third in the individual and together with Lechner and Beate Gauß team European champion. With Eva Friedel , Pfeilschifter and Lechner were able to repeat this success as a team at the European Sports Rifle Championships in Granada in July 2007. In the individual, Pfeilschifter took third place in the three-position fight after a jump behind Lechner, and fourth with the rifle. After these successes and three World Cup victories in 2007, she came in second place behind Ying Chen in the election of the sportswoman of the year in early 2008 . On May 24, 2008, when she won the World Cup in Milan , she improved the air rifle world record - held by the Czech Kateřina Emmons and Du Li from China - from 504.9 to 505 rings. In the preliminary fight she had already stopped the WR with 400 rings. After her World Cup victories in Munich the week before and the performance in the last pre-Olympic competition in Milan, she was considered a big favorite for the Olympic Games in Beijing, but according to sports director Heiner Gabelmann of the German Shooting Federation "she was not up to the Olympic burden." She finished the competitions in the disappointing places twelve and 17. She was also traded as a potential medal candidate at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In the three-position battle , however, she already failed in qualifying.

At the 2014 World Championships, Pfeilschifter won the gold medal with the air rifle as a team and the bronze medal in the individual. With this success, she said goodbye to the national team.
