Early life

Diessl was born in Argentina, moving to Austria when he was seven years-old. He is based in Leibnitz. As a child he took part in judo and athletics. He began concentrating on track and field from the age of 9 and began working with his long-term coach Beate Hochleitner shortly afterwards. [2] [3]

Career

Diessl finished fifth in the 110m hurdles at the U20 World Championships in Cali, Colombia in 2022. [4]

In 2023, he ran the U20 110 metres hurdles in an Austrian U20 age group record of 13.11 seconds. [5] He won gold at the 2023 European Athletics U20 Championships in Jerusalem over 100 metres hurdles in 13.12 seconds. [6] [7] In doing so, he became only the fourth Austrian to win gold at the event. [8]

In 2024, he set a new personal best of 7.64 in the 60 metres hurdles. In May 2024, he met the qualifying standard for the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome with a personal best time in St. Pölten of 13.46 seconds.

The 110 metres hurdles, or 110-metre hurdles, is a hurdling track and field event for men. It is included in the athletics programme at the Summer Olympic Games. The female counterpart is the 100 metres hurdles. As part of a racing event, ten hurdles of 42 inches (106.7 cm) in height are evenly spaced along a straight course of 110 metres. They are positioned so that they will fall over if bumped into by the runner. Fallen hurdles do not carry a fixed time penalty for the runners, but they have a significant pull-over weight which slows down the run. Like the 100 metres sprint, the 110 metres hurdles begins in the starting blocks.
