Ina Meschik (born 25 September 1990 in Sankt Veit an der Glan) is an Austrian alpine snowboarder.[1][2] She represented her nation Austria in three editions of the Olympic Games (2010, 2014 and 2018), and eventually claimed a bronze medal in parallel giant slalom at the 2010 FIS Junior World Championships in Lake Wānaka, New Zealand and fourth-place finishes at the FIS World Cup series.[3] Meschik is currently a member of ASKÖ Landskron Ski Club in Villach, under her personal coach Tom Weninger.[4]
Meschik made her official debut, as a 19-year-old, at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, where she finished sixth in the women's giant slalom, losing out to Germany's Anke Karstens in the classification final match by sixty-four hundredths of a second.[5]
At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Meschik qualified for two alpine snowboarding events (including the first ever women's parallel slalom) by achieving fourth-place finishes from the FIS World Cup series in Rogla, Slovenia, and in Carezza, Italy.[6][7] In the women's giant slalom, Meschik improved her prior performance in Vancouver with a fourth-place finish, but narrowly missed the bronze medal by almost a full second behind host nation's Alena Zavarzina in their small final match.[8][9] Three days later, in the inaugural women's slalom, Meschik did not match her stellar stint from the giant slalom, as she lost the quarterfinal match to Germany's Amelie Kober by a hundredth-second margin.[10]
Meschik finished eighth in the women's parallel giant slalom event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.[11]
