Encyclopedia
Lisa Perterer is a professional Austrian triathlete, winner of the 2009 Junior European Cup circuit and Austrian Junior Champion 2010.

In 2011, Perterer changed to the Elite category. 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.
Thanks to the bronze medal, Lisa Perterer was regularly qualified for the World Championship Series triathlon in Hamburg where she placed 15th and again proved to belong the world elite. At Tiszaújváros she again achieved a good position among the world elite.

Lisa Perterer is one of Austria's greatest hopes in triathlon, which has not produced elite medalists since the days of Australian Austrian Olympic winner Kate Allen
