Lisa Perterer

At the World Championship Series triathlon in Kitzbuhel, she was included into the start list only thanks to a wildcard.

At the World Cup triathlon in Edmonton, however, still a junior, she most surprisingly won the bronze medal behind Ashleigh Gentle and Mateja Simic and thus proved to be the best Austrian female triathlete, far better than Lydia Waldmüller, who placed 21st.

Lisa Perterer attended the Sports High School BORG SSLK in Klagenfurt and represents the army club HSV (Heeressportverein) Triathlon Kärnten.

In autumn 2011, Perterer joined the sports high performance scheme of the Austrian army.

In the four years from 2007 to 2010, Perterer took part in 11 ITU competitions and achieved 9 top ten positions.
