Fernstädt started competing on the Europe Cup in 2013–14, where she quickly established herself with a string of five podium finishes, including three golds. She had fewer podiums in 2014–15, when she added the Intercontinental Cup to her schedule, but she had two ICC wins in 2015–16 and 2016–17. She finished fifth in the 2015 junior world championships at Altenberg, and earned bronze the following year in Winterberg.[3]
Fernstädt's first season on the World Cup was 2016–17 when her best finish was a bronze at Königssee; that season, the world championships were held on the same Königssee track, and Fernstädt finished fourth but earned a bronze as part of an international squad in the mixed team competition. She started the 2017–18 season on the ICC but was promoted to the World Cup squad in the place of Sophia Griebel after winning three ICC races. She took bronze in the 2018 race at Altenberg,[1] and won the 2018 Junior World Championships by 0.81 seconds, ahead of 2017 champion Yulia Kanakina.[5]
After switching teams to the Czech Republic, Fernstädt competed at lower levels for the 2018–19 season to earn her new team a World Cup quota spot for the 2019–20 season.
