In February 2013, Eder's best performance in the Biathlon World Cup was 7th, as part of the mixed relay team at Kontiolahti in 2011/12.

Up to February 2017, her best performance at the Biathlon World Championships was fourth at Hochfilzen, in Austria, in 2017, in the women's individual competition over the normal distance.

In the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, her best results have been fifth place in the individual sprint in Sochi in February 2013, and in the team sprint in Toblach in January 2017.
