Marina Gastl
Olympic wrestler
Marina Gastl (born 3 August 1985 in Innsbruck) is an amateur Austrian freestyle wrestler, who competed in the women's heavyweight category. She represented Austria, as a 19-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and later picked up a bronze medal in the 72-kg division at the 2005 World Junior Championships in Vilnius, Lithuania. Throughout her sporting career, Gastl trained full-time for RSC Inzing under her personal coach Jörg Helmdach.
Gastl qualified for the Austrian squad in the women's 72 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by receiving a berth in and placing first at the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Madrid, Spain. She lost two straight matches each to neighboring Germany's Anita Schätzle (1–4) and the Russian and reigning European champion Guzel Manyurova (1–7) in the prelim pool, ending her chances of advancing further into the semifinals with a ninth-place finish.

Why this record matters
“Marina Gastl” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Marina, Gastl and Olympic provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17279306. The first chronological checks are 1985, 2004 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
