In 2003 he started in Val di Fiemme as well as in Oberstdorf in 2005 and in Sapporo in 2007 at the Nordic World Ski Championships. Tagscherer was only able to top the sprint result from Lahti in the team sprint with his brother in Sapporo and was 18th. In 2006 he started for the second time at the Olympic Games. In Pragelato he was 76th over 15 kilometers and 44th in the sprint. In the World Cup he only ran sprint races until February 2007.
