Sophia Schaller (born 17 September 2000) is anAustrianfigure skater who currently competes in the pairs discipline withLivio Mayr. Together, they are three-timeAustrian national champions (2023–25).

As a singles skater, she is the 2018 Sarajevo Open champion, the 2019Santa Claus Cup bronze medalist, the 2017Austrian junior national silver medalist, and a six-timeAustrian national medalist.

Schaller was born on September 17, 2000 inSalzburg, Austria.^[1] Her younger sister, Flora Marie Schaller, is also a competitive figure skater, competing in the women's singles event.^[2]

Schaller began figure skating in 2007. Joining the Salzburg Skating Club, she was first coached by Iva Žvachtová before switching to Julia Kiefer and Sandra Riegler prior to the2016–17 figure skating season.^[1] On the junior level, she would win silver at the2016–17 Austrian Championships and the2017–18 Austrian Championships in the women's singles discipline.^[3]

In her first year competing on the national senior level, Schaller would win bronze at the2018–19 Austrian Championships. The following year, Violette Ivanoff would join Schaller's coaching team and after winning silver at the2019–20 Austrian Championships, Schaller was selected to represent Austria at the2020 European Championships and the2020 World Championships. She would place twenty-sixth and thirty-seventh at these events, respectively.^[3]

Continuing on as a singles skater, Schaller would win silver at the2020–21 Austrian Championships and bronze at the2021–22 Austrian Championships.

In May 2022, Schaller decided to try pair skating with longtime Salzburg Skating Club-mate,Livio Mayr, after having a tryout session in Paris.^[4][5] Mayr was initially interested in teaming up with Schaller in 2018 when he was first beginning his pairs career, but at the time, Schaller had chosen to prioritize her future in singles. The skaters would attribute their ease adapting to skating together to their long-standing relationship, having known one another since childhood and trained at the same rink for many years.^[6] Schaller/Mayr chose to train under Schaller's longtime coaches, Violette Ivanoff and Julia Kiefer, with the addition of former Austrian champion pair skater,Severin Kiefer. It was also announced that the duo would also make trips toOakville, Ontario, Canada to work with Canadian pair coaches,Bruno Marcotte andBrian Shales.^[7]
