Career

Doris Mader started playing table tennis when she was seven, in part due to her father who was a table tennis instructor. In 2002, while studying veterinary medicine, she suffered loss of motion in her legs. This was caused by a 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) tumour on her spine. Following surgery, she underwent rehabilitation at the Weißer Hof facility in Klosterneuburg.[1]

Following her disability, she took up wheelchair table tennis, competing for Austria. She met Andreas Vevera while at Weißer Hof, and the two trained together in the sport. Both competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China, where Vevera won the gold medal in the men's individual class 1, while Mader finished fifth in women's individual class 3. Those roles were reversed at the 2012 Games in London, England, where Vevera was eliminated early. He then coached Mader as she won the silver medal in her class, following defeat by Sweden's Anna-Carin Ahlquist in the final.[1][2]

Mader competed again at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but without Vevera for the first time.[3] However, Mader failed to win any medals after being eliminated from the tournament in the round of 16.[4]

gollark: - PotatOS uses a single global process manager instance for nested potatOS instances. The ID is incremented by 1 each time a new process starts.- But each nested instance runs its own set of processes, because I never made them not do that and because without *some* of them things would break.- PotatOS has a "fast reboot" feature where, if you reboot in the sandbox, instead of *actually* rebooting the computer it just reinitializes the sandbox a bit.- For various reasons (resource exhaustion I think, mostly), if you nest it, stuff crashes a lot. This might end up causing some of the nested instances to reboot.- When they reboot, some of their processes many stay online because I never added sufficient protections against that because it never really came up.- The slowness is because each event goes to about 200 processes which then maybe do things.
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: It doesn't reuse already allocated IDs.
gollark: Don't read too much into that.
gollark: EXPLAINING.
