Enzo Diessl (born 6 June 2004) is an Austrian hurdler.[1]
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]
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. In the spring of 2024 he had times of 13.31 on 9 May in Maria Enzersdorf and 13.38 on 12 May in Graz, but those results had a strong tailwind.[9] [10]
